Chapter 24: Poison Langzhong
In an instant, the seven of them dispersed.
Yan Shan swung his rusty long sword and chased it in one direction. The black sword shadow slashed through one person's throat and stabbed into another's vest.
The cyan sword shadow slashed, leaving a shallow mark of blood on a person's throat. Li Ruoxian's body turned rapidly, and the cyan sword shadow drew two arcs in mid-air, slashing towards the two of them. One person dodged the vital point, but was injured in the calf by the sword qi, and his body stagnated, and he was shot by five feather arrows and killed on the spot. The other person's body technique was extremely fast, and he swept forward three zhang in an instant, and his sword qi slashed to the ground, and all five feather arrows missed.
The other three were enveloped in a rain of arrows, and two of them were wounded and then killed by arrows in order to cover the leader. But in a matter of moments, the man who led him was gone.
At this time, a black-clothed masked man quickly swept to Yan Shan's side and said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, all nine crossbowmen have been shot." ”
Yan Shan nodded slightly.
Li Ruoxian was shocked and asked, "How do you know it's nine?"
Yan Shan looked disdainful, and replied casually: "Xixia crossbowman, eight volts and one dive, a group of nine." This potential is the key, if you don't shoot, you will be successful. ”
Li Ruoxian snorted coldly and kept silent, but he admired the Yue family army from the bottom of his heart, and he even knew the secret establishment of the Western Xia guards so clearly.
Yan Shan arched his hand at the man in black and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, thank the brothers for me! Also, take the brothers to leave as soon as possible, and you must not reveal your identity!"
The man in black nodded slightly, waved his hand, and made a retreat gesture. Then, slowly, he retreated, disappearing behind the roof.
Yan Shan's eyes were slightly closed, listening intently, paying attention to any trace of wind and grass around him. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Brother Shi, they have gone away, and no one is following. ”
Li Ruoxian asked, "Is there still a guard here?"
Yan Shan shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's another group of people, they are well hidden, if it weren't for the inadvertent trace of murderous aura, I wouldn't be able to detect it." ”
"Killer?" Li Ruoxian's expression was solemn.
Yan Shan nodded and said with a smile: "It's time for us to hit the road too." ”
Li Ruoxian glanced at the corpse on the ground, sighed softly, and turned to leave.
When passing by a stable, Yanshan's eyes lit up, and a row of horses stood tall with their heads held high, all of which were good horses from Xixia.
The two of them were not polite, but picked two white horses with well-proportioned bodies, neat manes, and strong hooves, jumped on them, tugged at the reins, and walked away.
In the evening, the two rushed to Chishui Town and found an inn to stay in.
Here, they didn't notice anyone staring at them, and even the hint of murderous aura that was inadvertently revealed disappeared without a trace. Yan Shan knew that there must be something strange in it, but he couldn't think of it. Looking at Yan Shan's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Li Ruoxian gloated.
The next day, the two continued on their way. At noon, they rested in Ji Jiaping for half an hour. Before dark, the two entered Huayin County.
At the end of the day, the tranquility was a little weird. Li Ruoxian was happy. Yan Shan was always furious in his heart. In this troubled world, the road was a little too peaceful.
On the third day, the two went out of Tongguan and traveled all the way east. At noon, they rested in the town of Yangping.
In the hazy night, Li Ruoxian and Yanshan entered the territory of Henan Mansion and rushed to Chengguan Town to settle down.
As soon as he entered the town, a trace of murderous aura that was inadvertently revealed appeared again, and vaguely, it seemed to be everywhere. Yan Shan couldn't help but gasp, if the judgment was correct, the people on the entire street should be killers.
Li Ruoxian had never doubted Yan Shan's judgment, but at this moment, this conclusion made her unacceptable. Similarly, Yan Shan himself was a little skeptical.
Yan Shan whispered, "Take out the Righteous Qi Pill, just in case." ”
Li Ruoxian nodded slightly.
The two found an inn and settled down.
The shopkeeper prepared the meal. As usual, the two tried them one by one with silver needles, even the tea. After making sure that there is no problem, then eat. However, before they could eat a few bites, the two of them felt that their bodies were different, and their secret luck was really angry, and there was a blockage, and they couldn't help but be horrified.
Yan Shan quietly made a look, and Li Ruoxian signaled with his eyes to understand. The two inadvertently took the Righteous Qi Pill, secretly urging their internal forces to fight against the toxins, but on the surface, they looked like they were highly poisonous and slaughtered by others.
At this moment, more than 20 people appeared around the inn, including the hawkers at the entrance of the town, the grocery store guys, the stable boys, and the inn shopkeepers. Yan Shan's judgment was right, the people on the entire street were all pretending to be killers.
A gray-clothed man with a thin body, a pale face, and about forty years old, strolled into the inn, with a smug look on his face, and said with a smile: "After so many days of tossing, I finally took down the two of you." ”
Li Ruoxian sneered: "Secretly poisoning, what kind of ability!"
Yan Shan shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high." This benevolent brother's ability to poison is really clever, I admire it from the bottom of my heart!"
The man in gray smiled and said, "It's still this little brother who has vision." Although this girl was born as beautiful as a fairy, it is an embroidered pillow, which is a pity!"
Li Ruoxian snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Yan Shan said with a smile: "Today it is planted in the hands of Brother Ren, and I am convinced. But until now, I still don't understand how we were poisoned, and if Brother Ren can give me some guidance, even if he dies, he can be a ghost. ”
The man in gray nodded slightly, and sighed: "If it weren't for the order to kill, I really couldn't bear to kill you." Since this is your wish before you die, I will fulfill you. ”
Yan Shan smiled and said, "Listen up." ”
The man in gray said slowly: "Among you are red, green, blue, and purple flower poisons. None of these five flowers are poisonous in themselves, but if any of the other four are mixed with red flowers, they become highly poisonous, and the more colors there are, the more toxic they become. ”
Yan Shan nodded slightly and asked, "This poison is indeed magical. I don't know which worldly master developed it?"
The man in gray smiled happily and replied, "It's down there." ”
Yan Shan looked admiring, and asked again: "But I still don't understand, how did we get poisoned?"
The man in gray said with a smile: "In the past few days, I have sent people to poison the water tanks of all the inns, wine shops, and restaurants that you may pass by. ”
Yan Shan said suddenly: "To be more precise, we only put four kinds of pollen in the water tank before, green, blue, and purple, which are not poisonous, and we naturally can't detect it." And in this Chengguan Town, which is the only way to Kaifeng in the east, you have spared no effort to arrange a street of manpower, just to ensure that we take this non-poisonous red flower. ”
The man in gray nodded with a smile and said, "One more point." This monochromatic flower will only last for a maximum of three days, and in order to make sure you get here on time, we have also taken care of the robbers and robbers on the road for you. ”
Yan Shan smiled and said, "I don't know what Brother Ren is called, Your Excellency may be the last friend I made before I died." ”
The man in gray smiled and said, "Flower Flyer." ”
"Your Excellency is the Poison Lang Zhonghua Flyer?" Yan Shan was surprised in his heart. He had seen the name of this poisonous man in the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes. This person was born in Shuzhong, became famous in the southern Sichuan generation, and is a famous drug master in the underworld. But why did he come to this northern Jin people's ruling area?
Hua Feike was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Little brother is so old, how can he know the name of Hua?"
At this time, a burly man with a machete whispered in Hua Feike's ear: "Master Huatang, don't talk nonsense with this kid, so as not to dream too much at night." ”
Hua Feike glared at the burly man. The burly man couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly retreated.
Yan Shan smiled and said, "It's embarrassing for Big Brother Hua." ”
Hua Feike has a withdrawn personality and has almost no friends, but today he chatted with Yan Shan so speculatively, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for each other. Inadvertently, he glanced at Yan Shan, and couldn't help but tremble, but there was no trace on his face. He smiled and said, "It's okay. ”
Yan Shan nodded slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Little brother still has something to understand, I don't know if I should ask?"
Hua Feike smiled and said, "Little brother can ask casually, but whether I will give an answer or not is not certain." ”
Yan Shan asked, "I wonder who the employer of this operation is?"
Hua Feike shook his head with a wry smile.
Yan Shan continued: "Why don't I guess?"
Hua Feike smiled: "Little brother, please." ”
"I once killed a killer at the foot of Hutou Mountain, he should be your man, but you will never avenge him by making such a move. ”
Hua Feike smiled and said nothing.
"On that day, I also killed a person named Zhao Wenshan. Although his father is the richest man in Zhongnan County, he can't let you work so hard. ”
Seeing that Hua Feike was still indifferent, Yan Shan continued: "This girl is the princess of Western Xia, and there have always been Western Xia people chasing and killing her. Obviously, you and they are not all the same. ”
After listening to so much, Hua Feike was a little confused.
"Qin Hui!" Yan Shan suddenly said the name.
Hua Feike's face changed suddenly, but he soon knew that he had been fooled.
Yan Shan asked, "Brother Hua, do you know why Qin Hui wanted to kill me?"
Hua Feike smiled lightly, "You should know the rules of the killer. ”
Yan Shan smiled bitterly: "Because I am an orphan of the Yue family's army, Marshal Yue is my father-in-law." ”
Hua Feike's heart trembled. He is a man in the underworld, and he treats Wang Fa like bullshit, and the emperor is a waste in his eyes. However, as a Song person, who does not respect Marshal Yue?
Yan Shan slowly closed his eyes and said lightly: "Qin Hui is the one who wants to kill me, and please let this girl go with Brother Hua!"
Hua Feike snorted coldly and said no more.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Yan Shan's ears: "Stinky boy, don't pretend, do it quickly!" was actually said to Yan Shan by Hua Feike with the technique of transmitting sound into the secret.
