Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing
There were seven or eight stone houses on the east side of the medicine garden, and Hu Yun and the others came to the front of the largest stone house in the middle.
Steward Zhao said: "The token that controls the enchantment of the medicine garden is in the house, young master, this Danfang became the usual cultivation place of senior Teng half a month ago."
Hu Yun was still wondering, why was there no guards guarding this medicine garden? As soon as Steward Zhao said this, he realized that this place had become a place for condensation stage cultivators to cultivate, and outsiders were naturally not allowed to trespass, and there was no need for those mortal guards to guard it.
Zhao Bao was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't this the Dan room where my Zhao family stores pills? Why did Senior Teng move here to cultivate?" Steward Zhao said: "It was the ancestor who went to invite Senior Teng to come to this house to cultivate, as for the reason, the old slave is not clear." Young master, the old slave finally advised you, don't go your own way, it angers the Teng seniors, even the ancestor can't protect you. ”
Although Zhao Bao said that he was willing to hand over the Psychic Grass to Hu Yun for the sake of Qin Shanshan, he had never thought of offending such a condensate stage monk as Teng Jiaohai, so he was a little hesitant at this time.
Hu Yun saw Zhao Bao's thoughts and said: "Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be embarrassed, if he is tracked down in the future, you just have to put the responsibility on me." Just said that I was held hostage by me and forced to come to get the spirit grass, I don't think that senior Teng will be too embarrassed for you. ”
Zhao Bao thought to himself, this is a good excuse, but after thinking about it again, he felt that something was wrong, this Steward Zhao was a person who knew the inside story, how could this be hidden?
Hu Yun grinned, his eyes revealing murderous intent.
Steward Zhao is such a shrewd person, listening to the conversation between Hu Yun and Zhao Bao, and seeing Hu Yun's cold eyes, his heart is like a mirror, this is to kill himself.
He sneered in his heart: "You two rabbit cubs are really vicious, I don't have a deep grudge against you, and you want to kill me? Seeing that Hu Yun's dagger had been against his waist, a plan suddenly came to his heart.
I saw him kneeling on the ground with an ordinary sound, kowtowing and crying: "Young master, the old slave was really not respectful enough to you before, but this is not a crime that will lead to death." The old slave grew up watching you grow up, for the sake of this little incense, you spared the old slave's life, I will never say anything about today's events. ”
With this action, he naturally avoided the dagger in Hu Yun's hand.
Zhao Bao saw that Steward Zhao's words were sincere, and he couldn't help but feel compassion, and said: "Brother Tai, it's better to let him go, I'll just take care of something in the future." ”
At this moment, Steward Zhao suddenly rolled his body to the ground. The stone house was next to the medicine garden, only four or five paces away, and as soon as he rolled, he immediately reached the edge of the field where the herbs were grown.
Steward Zhao quickly stretched out the unbroken hand, put it next to the transparent film, and shouted: "Don't move, as long as I touch this film, there will be an alarm immediately, and when the time comes, none of you will be able to escape." ”
This sudden change, although Hu Yun has a scheming, but after all, he is not very old, and it will only take a month to come out, and he is not experienced enough, and when he reacts, Steward Zhao has already arrived at the edge of the medicine garden, and it is too late to stop it.
Hu Yun secretly scolded himself for being careless, and at the same time, the killing intent in his heart was even stronger, and he said lightly: "Steward Zhao, don't be nervous, didn't Zhao Gongzi say just now, let you go, and he will take care of the future affairs." ”
Steward Zhao sneered: "You are so easy to deceive when I am a three-year-old child? How can I rely on you two sons and daughters to live or die? Now you hurry up and leave here, I will act as if nothing happened." ”
Hu Yun smiled and shook his head: "I am determined to get that herb, if you don't act rashly, I swear not to hurt your life." Otherwise, whether you touch the warning or not, I'll cut your neck."
Seeing Hu Yun's tone categorical, Steward Zhao pondered slightly, and said, "Okay, in that case, I will give you the key to open the stone house, you just go and get the spirit grass, and I will stay here." ”
Zhao Bao said: "Okay, since that's the case, take the Danfang key." ”
Steward Zhao has one arm broken at this moment, and the other is stretched out and placed next to the membrane, where is there a third hand to hold the key? He rolled his eyes and said, "This key is in my arms, you let Xiaoqin come and get it." ”
The maid Xiaoqin had been following Hu Yun in a daze, and then suddenly heard Steward Zhao call her name, woke up like a dream, and stammered: "I...... I ......"
Hu Yun turned his head and said softly: "Miss Xiaoqin, you go to his arms and take the key, with me, don't be afraid." Then he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "When I go to get the key, look for an opportunity to block his view." ”
Forced by the situation, Xiaoqin could only nod lightly and walked over.
Steward Zhao's eyes were always watching Hu Yun and Zhao Bao's every move, and he saw Xiaoqin walking to his side and said, "Xiaoqin, tonight's incident has nothing to do with you, I can see that you are coerced by them, and I will plead with the ancestor for you." ”
Xiaoqin was only thinking about one thing in her heart at the moment, and that was how to block Steward Zhao's sight? As for what he said, she didn't listen to it at all, and just subconsciously said "um" in her mouth.
Steward Zhao was overjoyed in his heart, and thought: "This little girl is not deeply involved in the world, and it is very easy to deceive." He whispered, "I have two small jade plaques in my arms, give them the red one." ”
Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment and said, "Steward Zhao, what did you say?"
Steward Zhao thought that this little girl was really confused, turned his head, looked at Xiaoqin, and said hurriedly: "Take that ......." ”
Seeing him turn his head around, Xiaoqin had an idea, "oops", pretended to slip under his feet, and tilted his body to the side, just between Steward Zhao and Hu Yun.
Steward Zhao was anxious and shouted, "Hurry up." The outstretched hand unconsciously retracted to push Xiaoqin's body.
At this moment, Steward Zhao suddenly felt a strong wind blowing around him, his neck was cold, and then he saw his blood splashing out like a fountain, and he wanted to open his mouth to call, but his throat leaked out, and he couldn't make a sound. Hearing Hu Yun's faint voice in his ears: "Master, I have never been threatened by others......" Later, he couldn't hear it anymore.
It turned out that Hu Yun didn't plan to talk about any conditions with this Steward Zhao from the beginning, and when Xiaoqin stood between the two, Hu Yun flew over and cut Steward Zhao's neck with a dagger without saying a word.
Xiaoqin saw the blood on Steward Zhao's neck spurting wildly, screamed, and fell backwards.
Hu Yun hugged him and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay." Put her aside, reached out to Steward Zhao's arms and touched it, except for some sundries, there were two small jade plates, one red and one white.
At this time, Zhao Bao also walked over, looked at the housekeeper's corpse with complicated eyes, and sighed: "Hey, why bother?"
Hu Yun glanced at him and said, "Zhao Gongzi, look at these two jade plates, which one is the key to the stone house?" After speaking, he handed over the two jade plates. Zhao Bao took it and looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "The original key is not like this, it should be replaced after Senior Teng moved over." ”
At this time, the maid Xiaoqin suddenly interjected: "Childe, I just said to Steward Zhao, yes...... It is a small red jade plate. ”
Hu Yun did not doubt him, and hurriedly came to the stone gate with the red jade plate, and took a closer look, there was a groove in the center of the stone gate, and the size and shape were the same as the jade plate, so he put the red jade plate inside. With a clatter, the stone door automatically opened a crack inside.
Hu Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and strode in, Xiaoqin followed closely and walked in, when Zhao Bao was about to step in, he only heard a buzzing sound, and a blue light diaphragm suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire stone house, and at the same time, the humming sound became louder and louder, as if the whole earth was trembling.
Hu Yun's face changed greatly, and he secretly screamed in his heart, and when he looked back, he saw Xiaoqin following behind him, but Zhao Bao was blocked out of the door by the diaphragm. Hu Yun hurriedly ran to the door and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the membrane, only to feel that the membrane was very tough and could not be opened by his own strength.
At this moment, noisy footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and someone shouted: "What's the matter? Who touched the alarm?" "Go, someone is stealing the spirit grass. "It's not good, the young master just went in just now, go and protect the young master." ”
Then the guards swarmed in from outside the door.
