Chapter 23: Surrounded by Powerful Enemies

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly thought of what Su Qing said, Madame Xue was injured by the twenty-fourth type of the Heavenly Poison Palm, so that her life was in danger, but if the Jade Butterfly Cup was in the hands of Madame Xue, then Madame Xue was lying, if she was lying, why did she send Su Qing to take the Heavenly Poison Pill regardless of her life?

If Madame Xue wasn't lying, could it be that Tang Qi was lying?

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly returned to the night in Tangjiabao, Tang Yelin looked at him and asked seriously.

"Do you believe or disbelieve what your friend says?"

"Jade Xiaoyao?" Tang Qi pulled him back from his memories, "What are you thinking?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I'm thinking, if the Jade Butterfly Cup is with Madame Xue, then why does Su Qing say that you injured Madame Xue with the twenty-fourth form of the Heavenly Poison Palm?"

Tang Qidao: "This is also what I want to tell you next, why Tang Yelin must obtain the Jade Butterfly Cup." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Listen to me." ”

Tang Qi said: "Mrs. Xue was injured by the twenty-fourth type, this is true, the Jade Butterfly Cup is in her, this is not false." Because, Tang Feng found a way to cultivate the twenty-fourth form without the Jade Butterfly Cup!"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "In that case, why does Tang Yelin still have to get the Jade Butterfly Cup?"

Tang Qidao: "Because this method is not very perfect, although the toxicity in the body can be suppressed with the help of internal force and the Heavenly Poison Pill, but every once in a while, this toxicity will suddenly attack, and the interval between attacks is getting shorter and shorter, and the attacks are getting more and more powerful, if it goes on like this, if there is no Jade Butterfly Cup, Tang Yelin and I will die of the poison in the body sooner or later." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then how do you know that the Jade Butterfly Cup must be in Madame Xue's hand?"

Tang Qi said: "First, Lady Xue was under Tang Feng in her early years, and she had a lot of relationships, Tang Yelin also mentioned this to me, he said that Lady Xue was one of the very few survivors of the battle thirty years ago, and the Jade Butterfly Cup was probably in her hand. Second, I injured her with the twenty-fourth style that day, which was also ordered by Tang Yelin, in order to test whether the Jade Butterfly Cup was in her hand. ”

Yu Xiaoyao groaned: "So if Lady Xue doesn't have the Jade Butterfly Cup or doesn't want to expose this secret, she must find a way to get the Heavenly Poison Pill." Therefore, the Heavenly Poison Pill that Tang Yelin asked me to hand over to Su Qing must be fake, if Mrs. Xue eats the fake Heavenly Poison Pill and does not die, then the Jade Butterfly Cup must be in her hand!"

Tang Qi nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So we only need to go to Madame Snow now to see if she is still alive, and know if the Jade Butterfly Cup is with her." ”

"You're wrong. Tang Qidao, "You can only do this by yourself." ”

"Oh?"

Tang Qi said: "I can't openly be an enemy of Tang Yelin yet, so I can't go with you, besides, if I go, Madame Xue may not be willing to hand over the Jade Butterfly Cup." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Even if I go, such a treasure as the Jade Butterfly Cup, Mrs. Xue will definitely not hand it over to me." ”

Tang Qi said: "Madam Snow can't, but someone can." ”

Yu Xiaoyao only felt a chill on his wrist, and a tingling sensation came, and his whole body immediately froze.

Tang Qi gently supported him and let him lie down against a tree, "Don't worry, it will be relieved after a quarter of an hour, and you will be able to act in a few moments." ”

Yu Xiaoyao wanted to say something, but the muscles around his mouth were already stiff, and he couldn't speak at all.

He thought that he must be ridiculous now.

Tang Qi took out another pill, put it in his hand, and helped him gently close his fingers, "This is the Heavenly Poison Pill, just in case, rest assured, this pill must be true." ”

"Remember, after getting the Jade Butterfly Cup, we will also grasp Tang Yelin's weakness, and then we may be able to surrender without a fight. ”

"Also, it can save my life once. ”

"You can go with confidence, I will drag Tang Yelin in Shu well. ”

Tang Qi chattered a lot, and Yu Xiaoyao had to listen quietly, he couldn't even blink his eyelids.

Suddenly there was the sound of a carriage at the bottom of the mountain, and a carriage broke through the darkness and appeared in front of them, and a figure jumped out of the carriage.

Chen Yexing looked at him and said with a smile: "Sanren, I don't want you and I to meet again here, it's really fate." ”

Tang Qi arched his hand and said, "Brother Chen, you're tired." ”

"Where is it, thank you Tang Gongzi for excusing me, otherwise I can only find a mountain forest and end up old. Chen also walked and smiled at Yu Xiaoyao again, "Yu Gongzi, the night is long, let's go on the road as soon as possible." ”

The moment the curtain was lowered, Tang Qi looked at Yu Xiaoyao deeply.

The curtain fell, and Yu Xiaoyao couldn't see his face clearly.

Yu Xiaoyao and Chen Yexing took a car to Ba County, although the painting boat was still parked on the shore, but in order to avoid people's eyes, Chen Yexing still rented a small fishing boat and went down the Yangtze River. Along the way, in addition to drinking, the two chatted, but also leisurely. But Chen Yexing only said Fengyue, all people or things related to Liuhe Dao were kept silent, and Yu Xiaoyao simply didn't ask. It was idle at night, and Yu Xiaoyao saw that the moonlight was very good, so he asked the boatman for a fishing rod and sat on the bow of the boat to fish.

"The scattered people are so interested. Chen Yexing walked over with a smile on his face.

Tonight the moon is bright and the wind is clear, the river is smooth like a mirror, and the bow and stern of their small boat are hung with lights, and the dim lights make their small boat clearly reflected on the water, and this reflection gently sways in the water with the ripples brought by the boat, like a fantasy. On the water behind the boat, the ripples shattered the bright moon in the water, and gently rippled and gathered the thousands of moons into a bright moon.

Chen Yexing sat down beside him and said, "This situation and this scene can be worthy of Su Dongpo's breeze coming slowly, and the water waves are not happy." ”

Yu Xiaoyao whispered: "The breeze is coming, the water is not rippling, and the moon is bright on the river." Alas, what a fairy. ”

Chen Yexing said with a smile: "Since he is like a fairy, what else does Yu Gongzi have to sigh about." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "Su Dongpo still has a sentence, I don't have to hate this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp." The night wind is quiet and flat, the boat is gone, and the rivers and seas are sent for the rest of their lives. Wouldn't that be more fitting for this situation?"

Chen Yexing's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he smiled: "When the jade prince is becoming famous and establishing a career, why do you need to be such a child." Come on, come on, drink and drink. ”

Yu Xiaoyao took the flask, took a sip, and asked the boatman: "The boatman, it's been a day, why don't you take a break?"

The boatman smiled and said: "Don't worry, Childe, we will arrive at Yiling in front, let's rest when we get there." ”

Sure enough, just as the boatman said, after a while, Yu Xiaoyao heard the boiling voices and shouts in front of him, and there were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds, which floated along the river, making people feel as if they had fallen into the mortal dust from the fairyland.

Yu Xiaoyao got off the boat and went ashore, looked at Chen Yexing beside him, and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, he looked back at the boatman who was still on the boat, and said loudly: "Boatman, you can come with you too." ”

"No, no, no. The boatman waved his hand again and again, "I'll just make do with a little food." ”

"That's not going to happen. Yu Xiaoyao smiled, "You have worked hard all day, today this hero is the east, please eat something good." ”

Chen Yexing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Exactly, the boatman, meeting is fate, let's come together." ”

The boatman thanked him repeatedly, and finally got off the boat and walked with them towards Yiling City.

Although the sky is late, the prosperity is more victorious, the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the road, the tiles and hook rails are more extravagant under the glow of a lantern, drinking, eating, gambling money, the voice is boiling, and the people who run the hall, sell laughter, and juggle also have a smile on their faces.

Chen Yexing had a faint smile on his face, but his hand secretly pressed the sword on his waist.

"Something doesn't seem right. He said to the jade casually.

Needless to say, Yu Xiaoyao also noticed that something was wrong.

There was a monkey-cheeked gambling stick with a sharp beak, squatting on a stool beside the gambling table on the street, shaking the dice cup in his hand with a loud noise, but his eyes glanced at him from time to time. A smiling girl leaned on the railing on the second floor, looking at him with a smile, and a white spider woven with silk thread faintly revealed between the handkerchiefs in her hands. There is also a big man who is eight feet tall juggling on the side of the road, and the big iron rod in his hand is waving like a tiger, as if he is a solid real guy, and he is afraid that it will weigh more than 100 pounds, but in the hands of this big man, he is like a branch waving easily.

There were many more people, carrying swords on their backs and knives, Taoist priests, monks, and Yu Xiaoyao even saw a few nuns.

"Qingcheng faction, swallow dock, poison king sect, Biyun Temple. Chen Yexing looked at the martial arts people coming and going, and his face gradually became solemn, "That one with a sword on his back looks like a fifth Xu, and that little girl who sells a smile is only afraid that she is under the door of the spider lady, how can there be so many good and evil people gathered here?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "You say, is it too late for us to go back to the boat now?"

There were two disciples of the Qingcheng Sect who blocked the way of the two.

"Are you Jade Xiaoyao?" said the man on the left with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Yu Yaoyao said: "I hope it wasn't me." ”

"That's right. The man on the right nodded.

Both of them reached out in unison to draw their swords, but as soon as their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords, neither of them moved.

Because Jade Xiaoyao's hand was already pressed on the hilt of their sword.

The two men blushed with all their strength, but the sword rested firmly in its scabbard, motionless.

Yu Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Since the two of you can't draw your sword, you might as well have a good chat." ”

"Phew!" The man on the left spat at him, and said with a disdainful expression: "You, the dog of the Liuhe Knife, used a trick to assassinate the master of the Tang Sect, and you still want to fight the idea of Wudang!

"Exactly!" The man on the right also had an awe-inspiring face, "My brothers are not as good as others, but they don't want to be humiliated under you, if you want to kill, you will kill, why do you need to say more!"

Yu Xiaoyao silently let go of his hand, and in the stunned gaze of the two of them, he sideways made way for them.

"Hahahaha! A decent person is really good at putting gold on his face!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked gambler sneered and opened the dice cup in his hand, "Open! Leopard, kill through! Hahahahaha, take the money and take the money." ”

"What did you say?!" the Qingcheng disciple on the left choked and pulled out the sword in his hand, "You have the courage to say it again!"

The gambler smiled and said, "I said..."

He suddenly jumped up from the stool, and instantly arrived next to the Qingcheng disciple. The Qingcheng disciple shouted, and the sword in his hand was about to stab out.

But the gambler's move was faster than him, and when he saw him stretch out a finger, he touched the eyebrows of the Qingcheng disciple, and the young man did not move.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and countless pairs of eyes turned to this place.

With another choking, the sword in the hand of this Qingcheng disciple fell to the ground, and then he fell straight backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

At the center of his eyebrows, there is a dice embedded in it.

"Do you want one too?" the gambling stick played with another dice in his hand, and asked the remaining Qingcheng disciple with a smile.

The Qingcheng disciple stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, as if he hadn't heard his words, and he didn't have the strength to sacrifice his life just now.

When you hear the story of a great hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness, your blood boils, and you vow to sacrifice for morality.

Because in the stories I heard, sacrificing one's life for righteousness and killing oneself to become a benevolent person always sounds like an easy and glorious thing, if you die, you can live through the ages, and if you don't die, you can be famous.

But it is only when someone else's life disappears from your eyes alive that you look at those eyes that have lost their brilliance, and then you realize what death really means.

As a result, the blood cooled, condensed, turned into fear, and turned into cowardice.

So, the young man, who had been talking arrogantly just now, turned around and ran, running faster than a rabbit, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yexing clenched the sword in his hand and asked, "Ghost hand Cui Ji?"

The gambler stretched out his hand, and his hands were dry and thin, like ghost hands.

When the people around heard the name, half of them slipped away quietly.

Cui Ji staggered over, looked Yu Xiaoyao up and down, and said, "Is it your kid who killed Tang Yanzheng's old thief?"

Yu Xiaoyao said lightly: "Yes, Your Excellency wants to seek revenge?"

"No, no, no. Cui Ji waved his hand, "I have nothing to do with that old thief." It's just that Tangmen paid 5,000 taels of silver to take you, it just so happens that I'm a good gambler, and I've been bad lately, but I want to use your head to exchange some gambling money, what do you think? ”

Chen Yexing said in a low voice: "Let's go, this person is tricky." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Then you have to be able to go." ”

At this time, another person came out of the crowd, but it was a beautiful woman, the woman looked at Cui Ji, and said with a smile: "Old ghost Cui, there are so many colleagues here, if you want to swallow it alone, it is a bit excessive." ”

Cui Ji's eyes froze slightly, and he laughed sharply: "Spider lady, I didn't expect you to come to this troubled water." ”

The spider lady was about to speak, but a loud Buddha horn sounded in the crowd.

"Amitabha, this trip to the troubled waters, the old man will also come to visit, what do you two think!"
