Chapter 123: The Enemy
The sky is gradually darkening, the walls of the passage are lit with lights, and it is even darker, Xu Zining is under the supervision of the guards, rummaging in a huge room similar to a pharmacy for the 'needed' medicinal materials, Xu is a long time, the guards are a little impatient, and frowns, "Okay, no, I've been looking for half an hour!"
"What's the hurry?!" Xu Zining replied angrily, "Don't rush me, be careful that I'm wrong." β
"Sharp! grinding and chirping......"
"Alright. Xu Zining clapped his hands, "It's almost." We can go to the next place. β
In this way, Xu Zining walked through all the places that could be walked in Luojiabao on the pretext of looking for many spare items, and with his memory, he wrote down the route and the distribution of guards, but it was only a part, and it was impossible to cover everything, but this was enough for them, because they could take advantage of the upcoming late night to act secretly.
An hour later, Xu Zining returned to the place where Lu Shiqing was studying the poison, "Uncle Shi." β
"What's going on outside?" Lu Shiqing raised his head from the table full of bottles and cans, while Xu Weixiang stood at the door, observing the guards walking back and forth outside.
"The disciples who can write it down have all written it down, but when the disciples were taking the medicine, they found that there was a garden behind them, where many strange flowers were planted, which were quite beautiful, but they were too beautiful, and they looked enchanting. β
"Enchanting words?" Lu Shiqing groaned, the flower grew beautiful and could be admired, if it was charming, it was even a poisonous flower used to refine poison.
"But what's the smell?"
"Smell?" Xu Zining shook his head, "It smells good anyway." The disciple was urged tightly, so he didn't stay long. β
Lu Shiqing continued to ask, "What else is the situation?"
"The biggest thing is that there is a pungent smell of medicine everywhere, and it makes my head dizzy. Uncle Shi, I'm afraid we've come to their poison-making base. β
Lu Shiqing's expression was solemn, "I have to find a way to send the news out." And heβ" he said, looking at Stony Brook, who was still lying, "He's a key figure, and we can't die without help." β
Although Shi Xi's eyes have been closed, his mental state is obviously much better than before, Xu heard that he was going to save him from this demon cave, and he came to his senses, so he opened his eyes, "Then you have to find a way to go to the thatched house, there is a side that leads to the outside, and a brick in the corner is loose, you may be able to think of a way." β
Xu Zining walked to the side of the bed and kept his composure looking at Shi Xi's face full of cancer, "Why are you telling us this? Aren't you afraid that we will leave you alone?"
Stony Brook sighed, "I don't know what you do, but I can see that you don't have any ill intentions, and you're not the same kind of person as them... Ahem..."After coughing lightly, he continued, "Even if you really leave me alone, I will never complain, like me, even if I go out, I will die." Ahem..."
Lu Shiqing gave a look, Xu Zining understood, poured a glass of water and fed him to drink, Lu Shiqing played with a small brown lacquer porcelain bottle in his hand, and said, "I said that I want to help you detoxify, and I will never break my word, provided that you cooperate and never give up on yourself." β
At this time, Xu Weixiang coughed subconsciously, and several people shut up, and after a while, Ashqi pushed the door in, and after coming in, he was not 'polite', and walked directly towards Xu Zining, and said with a smirk, "Young Master Xu, our leader wants to see you." Please!"
Several people were stunned, Lu Shiqing faintly felt that something was wrong, Xu Zining frowned, and said mockingly, "What are you looking for me? Don't you want to invite me to tea?"
Ashqi laughed and said, "You'll know when you go." Maybe I'm going to invite you to a big meal!" he said, waving his hand, and immediately two sturdy black-clothed guards grabbed Xu Zining's shoulders and arms and pulled him out, and Xu Weixiang couldn't stop him and was pushed aside.
Before Ashqi left, he specially instructed Lu Shiqing, "Brother Lu, develop it well, don't get distracted." β
......
A spacious and bright room, Leng Wuhei, dressed in a black cloak, stared at the fire on the candlestick for a long time, and when he escorted Lu Shiqing and the three of them back that day, he noticed Xu Zining, on the one hand, he learned that he was the apprentice of Ouyang Ze, the head of the Hengshan faction, on the other hand, the eyes he looked at himself were not just as simple as looking at the enemy, that look seemed to be hatred!
Leng Wuhei kills people like hemp, killing, torture, poisoning, countless methods, cruel to the extreme, the victim is afraid or afraid of the eyes of others when they look at him, he has never seen anyone look at him with hatred. Leng Wuhei struggled to remember what he had in touch with him.
Xu Zining... Leng Wuhei muttered in a low voice, Xu Zining... Xu...?!Suddenly remembered something, right?
At this time, a cautious knock sounded on the door outside, "Chief, the people have been brought." β
Leng Wuhei put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, "Come in." β
The door opened, Xu Zining was pushed in arbitrarily, Leng Wuhei waved his hand, everyone retreated, the door was closed, and only the two of them were left standing and sitting.
Seeing the enemy again, the hatred that had just been suppressed in Xu Zining's heart was stimulated again, he pursed his lips, frowned tightly, forcibly stabilized his breath and said, "What did you ask me to do?"
Leng Wuhei's skull-like white bones fingers gently tapped on the wooden tabletop, and said faintly, "The disciple of Ouyang Ze, the head of the Hengshan Sect, is here, I just want to entertain well, besides, your Senior Uncle Lu has agreed to cooperate with us, why are you so hostile?" As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea and pointed at the other side, "Relax, sit down, and talk to me." β
Xu Zining was not polite, and walked directly to him and sat down, "If you have something to say, just say it." β
Leng Wuhei sneered, "I wonder if Gongzi Xu is interested in telling me the story of your childhood, such as your former home, and your father..."
Xu Zining clenched the teacup, tried his best to control his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "When I was very young, my father and mother were killed, and I was stimulated by this, so I have no impression of my father and mother anymore." β
"Oh?" asked Leng Wuhei with interest, "Then I wonder if you remember the murderer's appearance?"
"It was a rainy night, and I couldn't see anything clearly, except that they were dressed in black. I can't remember anything else. You seem to be interested in this!"
"Oh, I'm just asking. Leng Wuhei's eyes emitted a cold light through the iron mask, and a trace of murderous intent flashed silently, and he asked seemingly unintentionally, "What would you do if one day, the murderer of your father and mother stood in front of you?"
Xu Zining squeezed the teacup tightly, as if he was about to crush the teacup, and the killing intent in his eyes appeared, "Of course, I killed him with my own hands to avenge my father." β
The atmosphere was stagnant, falling into a deathly silence, the flames were still 'crackling', trying to emit a dim light, Xu Zining and Leng Wuhei just stared at each other, full of coldness and gunpowder smell, it seemed that the next moment, the fight was about to begin.
Xu Zining held the teacup in his right hand, but stroked the hidden dagger on his body with his left hand to deal with the impending danger.
