Chapter 722: Conspiracy
Chen Jianping looked in front of the stall and saw a fat old man standing under a tree behind the stall, his eyes red and swollen, staring closely at Wu Datong on the street.
Chen Jianping smiled slightly, and secretly thought, "I've been looking for so long, and I've finally found it!" Thinking of this, he motioned to Nalan Yue to call back Wu Datong on the street.
At this moment, the fat old man under the tree seemed to find that Chen Jianping was staring at him, and frowned and glanced at Chen Jianping who got up and walked into the alley.
At this moment, it was already dark, and the fat old man in front of him turned into the alley in a panic, climbed over the wall and walked through the house, and chose a dark and lightless place to walk.
After about a cup of tea, the fat old man was out of breath, squatting under a grinding plate in a panic, and secretly looked behind him.
At the beginning of the breeze, Chen Jianping appeared beside the fat old man like a ghost, and gently patted him on the shoulder, the fat old man was suddenly startled, and turned around with a "whew" is a palm.
Chen Jianping smiled slightly, did not dodge or dodge, and hit the fat old man's palm with his shoulder, the fat old man only felt a strong force coming from Chen Jianping's shoulder, only to hear a creak, the forearm bone was broken in response, and the person in pain screamed miserably.
But it was said that Nalan Yue and Wu Datong turned a few alleys and lost them, and the two were looking for Chen Jianping in all directions, when they suddenly heard a miserable cry here, and the two ran over after the sound.
Wu Datong took a look, pointed to the fat old man squatting under the grinding plate, and said, "It's this fat man, he is one of the people who do Kong Ming lanterns!"
The fat old man looked at Wu Datong, smiled, and said bitterly: "What you said, I didn't understand a word, what Kong Ming lantern!"
Wu Datong smiled and said: "Don't pretend, I think I don't know, you are a disciple of Rashomon, and it is in our hands today, you should know each other obediently!"
As he spoke, Wu Datong stretched out his hand and pulled out the old man's waist knife, stuck it on the ground with a "dang" sound, pointed to the word "Luo" engraved on his swallow, and said, "What else do you have to quibble?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Jianping next to him and said, "To tell you the truth, this is Chen Jianping, the head of the Yaoshan faction, whether to say it or not, you can weigh it yourself!"
The old man was startled, forgetting the pain in his arm, looking at Chen Jianping in front of him in a daze, nodded dumbly, and said, "Awesome!
After a long silence, the fat old man spoke: "I don't know anything, and I hope to give advice!
Chen Jianping was slightly startled and said, "What's the matter?"
The old man pondered for a long time, pointed to Wu Datong and asked, "This person ...... Is this person really your great disciple?"
Next to him, Nalan Yue burst out laughing, Wu Datong's face turned eggplant color, Chen Jianping smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, this is my personal disciple, the second head of the Yaoshan Sect in the future!" The fat old man looked at Wu Datong in disbelief.
The fat old man looked at Wu Datong incredulously, and muttered: "Amazing, amazing, the big husband can bend and stretch, hide deeply, it's really amazing!"
Chen Jianping and Nalan Yue couldn't help it, and they laughed again! The fat old man looked at everyone in bewilderment.
Then, Chen Jianping's face sank and said, "Tell me quickly, what are you planning, if you are willing to say, I can spare you from death!"
The fat old man smiled and said, "No need, I'm not doing well, and I almost ruined the big thing of the door master, even if you don't kill me, I won't live long!"
Chen Jianping took a step forward and said, "What is the big thing that almost broke you? You'd better recruit from the truth, maybe you're not afraid of death, but I can ask you to die!"
As he spoke, Chen Jianping raised his right hand and was about to press it on the fat old man's shoulder, at this moment, the fat old man's face turned red, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, Chen Jianping waved his sleeve robe violently, and said loudly: "Retreat, the blood is poisonous!"
Nalan Yue and Wu Datong hurriedly took two or three steps back, and the fat old man looked at the bloodstains on Chen Jianping's robe, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you don't invade with all kinds of poisons, otherwise I would have set up a big attack for the door master at this moment!"
As he spoke, the fat old man's face suddenly turned dark red, and he roared in pain, Chen Jianping stretched out his right palm violently, against his chest, and a strong internal force poured in, which immediately protected the fat old man's heart.
It turned out that the fat old man knew that he could not escape, and he bit through the poison hidden in his mouth, and committed suicide by taking poison, at this time the poison had already attacked, but Chen Jianping protected his heart, and the fat old man only felt a cramping pain in his chest and abdomen, but he could not die.
Chen Jianping said gloomily: "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, I will let you die a happy death!"
The fat old man's painful facial features were all deformed, and he raised his left hand with the last of his strength, pointed to the night sky behind Chen Jianping, and said with difficulty: "No...... No need, you ...... You guys...... You're late...... One step ......"
Chen Jianping frowned, turned around and looked at the sky behind him, only to see that in the gloomy night sky, countless bright spots suddenly appeared, like stars in the sky.
Chen Jianping's heart tightened, and he turned around and just wanted to ask, but he saw that the fat old man had lost his breath, and he still maintained the movement of his fingers in the night sky after his death, and his hideous and painful face looked extremely weird and terrifying!
At this moment, the northwest wind was blowing, and the whole city of Lingjiang City was floating Kong Ming lanterns intermittently, and thousands of Kong Ming and others rose into the sky, and with the help of the wind, they quickly floated towards the direction of Xuanyu Gate on both sides of the mountain.
In a moment, according to Chen Jianping's instructions, the crossbowmen who were arranged outside the Xuanyu Gate during the day discovered the Kong Ming lanterns fluttering in the sky, and they all opened their bows and arrows to shoot down the flying Kong Ming lanterns.
But the number of Kong Ming lanterns floating in the sky is too large, although there are many strong bows and crossbows prepared, the number of Kong Ming lanterns that can be shot down is less than one-tenth of the total, and what is even more tricky is that the many Kong Ming lanterns that were shot down fell in the mountains and forests outside the city and instantly caused a fire.
At this moment, it is the end of autumn, the weather is dry, fortunately, the southwest wind blows, the fire develops in the opposite direction of Lingjiang City, so as not to endanger the people in the city, but in the southwest direction, the dense forests all over the mountains, once the mountain fire spreads, the consequences are also unimaginable.
In a moment, the alarm bell on the Xuanyu Gate on both sides of the mountain rang, the bell against the wind, far away to Lingjiang City, the people in the city looked at the sky full of Kong Ming lanterns, the sky-high mountain fires and the alarm bells from afar, they all fell into a panic, the streets were full of people, everyone looked in the direction of the Xuanyu Gate in horror.
Nalan Yue looked at the mountain forest fire in the distance, frowned and said, "Could it be that Rashomon really wants to attack with fire?"
Chen Jianping waved his hand and said: "I don't know, I don't think so, but no matter what method Rashomon uses, their ultimate goal is Xuanyu Gate after all, and now that they have done it, it's okay, let's go to Xuanyu Gate immediately, just wait for them to come to the door!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and signaled him to hurry up, and Wu Datong muttered behind him: "There is food, drink, and money to spend, can't you stop living a little life?
Chen Jianping looked at Wu Datong and said, "When the big thing is over, I really have to train the kung fu at hand!"
Nalan Yue laughed and said, "Yes, save him from being embarrassed everywhere!"
The corners of Chen Jianping's mouth raised, and he said: "Shame is secondary, I'm afraid that as soon as people hear that he is my big disciple, they will definitely do their best to kill as soon as they get started, so learn a few life-saving moves, don't give your life in vain!"
When Wu Datong heard this, he was startled, and said sadly: "I'm not your apprentice now, is it too late?"
Chen Jianping smiled and said, "Apprentice, you are also a fool of the road, since you are on the thief ship, it is so good!"
Wu Datong: "......"
Nalan Yue looked at the mountain forest fire in the distance and said: "Right now, as long as we find out Rashomon, Xuanyu Gate, and all palaces and halls, plus the Yaoshan Sect, no matter how powerful Rashomen is, he is not our opponent!"
Chen Jianping nodded and said: "If it is a head-on enemy, Rashomon naturally has no chance of winning, but I am afraid that he will secretly make trouble, this Rashomon is full of evil from top to bottom, and it is good at poisoning, it is not easy to ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Jianping was stunned, then looked at the Kong Ming lantern floating in the sky, and said in shock: "It's broken, I know the use of this Kong Ming lantern!"
At this moment, a black shadow on the roof, several ups and downs came to Chen Jianping, only to see a black-clothed disciple of the Medicine Mountain Sect, only to see this disciple kneeling on the spot, and said: "Qi Qi Master, there is news from the Southern Sword Divine Sect!"
Chen Jianping was taken aback and said secretly: "Okay, the Imperial Sword God Sect has been hiding for so long, and I finally found you!"
