Chapter 7: Karma

"Hahahahaha

Zhao Qingyan was only stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Tao's words, and then he didn't react, and only after he laughed enough did he say: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and this is also your own fault." ”

Hua Boping laughed maniacally: "Do you think you can stay out of the matter? You are not wrong, isn't Ran Tongxuan just as innocent? He hasn't escaped yet? You are the same, you can't escape! You also saw it, his death is so ugly, what do you think will happen? Can you still be as indifferent as you are now? hahahahaha!"

Zhao Qingyan squinted, with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Say it again?"

How could Hua Boping be afraid of his threat, and repeated with a smile: "I said, you will always die as miserably as Ran Tongxuan, becoming a puddle of rotten meat, and no one will take it away." ”

Zhao Qingyan didn't speak, his eyes fell on the young man who was silent on the side, but his face was obviously worse, and he looked back at Hua Boping after a while: "Master Hua, don't forget, this is Da Nei, not your Qingcheng." There's no way you're messing around here. Either apologize to the Ran Palace Master, or don't blame me for ordering you to be kicked out of the Great Interior. ”

Hua Boping pointed to the young man who had never said a word, and now he only opened his mouth slightly, and said with a cruel smile: "Ran Tongxuan's son hasn't said anything yet, what are you anxious about? Tsk, I apologize to him? Can he stand it?"

Zhao Qingyan waved his hand to let the guards who were about to make a move retreat, took out crutches from his wheelchair and stood up slowly on the ground: "If he can't stand it, you will kneel in front of me." ”

Hua Boping sneered: "Why?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I feel disgusted with the unsightly things you have done, I feel disgusted with the shameless things I have done to you, and I feel that the name of the breeze is not worthy to be said from your mouth." ”

The people around him, from Trojan Marquis to Ouchi guards, were all stunned. Humble and elegant as the little prince of Qi, when did he say such ugly words?

Even Hua Boping was stunned, and then laughed: "This is angry?

Zhao Qingyan's smiling face couldn't see the real thoughts, and his voice was calm with a little lazy, not as if he was arguing with others: "I don't know if Master Hua has ever heard such a sentence? I'm not a dragon, but I'm a python. You hit me seven inches like this, and you blame me for being angry, and you are still unreasonable?" his words were witty, but no one would be stupid enough to be amused by them.

"Just because you still want to kill me?" Without any warning, Hua Boping's eyes suddenly turned red, and his hands turned into claws and rushed towards Zhao Qingyan, and the veins on the back of his hands were knotted.

"Little Wangye!" "My lord!" "Mo'er!" No one thought that Hua Boping would suddenly attack the killer, and it was too late to stop him when he found out. Zhao Qingyan, who was on crutches and had a thin body, faced a desperate blow from a strong man who had cultivated for fifty years, as fragile as a fish on a chopping board.

Zhao Qingyan didn't seem surprised, the right hand of the crutches turned half a circle, and the body also turned sideways with the direction of the force, and the left palm lightly resisted Hua Boping's forehead. The pale palm was a little abnormally white, and it seemed to be weak, but it was unharmed by the internal force of Hua Boping's protective body.

Trojan Mahou saw it clearly, Zhao Qingyan's palm shook twice almost invisibly at the moment when he pressed Hua Boping's forehead, and his wrists, elbows, and shoulders all shook slightly, unloading all of Hua Boping's forward strength. His index finger curled up, the knuckles pressed against Hua Boping's eyebrows, and several other open fingers were also attached to Hua Boping's forehead, and the tips of two of the fingers were exactly against Hua Boping's temple. As long as he wanted to, he could easily take Hua Boping's life with the force of his fingertips.

Quick response, ruthless vision, decisive shot, fingers are also extremely flexible and flexible. Zhao Qingyan's martial arts are by no means high, but he knows how to save his life. In other words, how to turn the situation around with one move. Judging from Zhao Qingyan's current state, he obviously has no back-up moves, if he doesn't kill him, he will seriously injure him when Hua Bo calms down.

Although he was observing the battle situation, Trojan Marquis did not forget to save Zhao Qingyan. Trojan Marquis and Zhuo Yi, who were a certain distance away from Zhao Qingyan, rushed over at the same time, but they were still one step short - the guards who arrived one step earlier than them didn't have time to think carefully, and the unsheathed saber stabbed Hua Boping, who was completely defenseless, through the chest, ending his life.

Hua Boping opened his mouth, blood came out of his mouth and nose, the blood in his eyes receded, and a trace of incomprehensible emotion flashed, and then fell backwards with the guard's knife, blood splattered all over the ground.

Trojan Mahou and Zhuo Yi ran out two steps in a daze, stopped, and looked at Hua Boping on the ground, with a complicated expression in their eyes.

Zhao Qingyan subconsciously took a few steps back because of the blood splashing, and sat back in his wheelchair, his pale face showing that he was also shocked by this unexpected thing.

"Subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish them!" The two guards hurriedly knelt down, and several servants behind them also knelt down together, pleading guilty.

Zhao Qingyan came to his senses, looked at Hua Boping's body for a while, and sighed lightly: "That's it, just kill this kind of person." His left hand held his right wrist through his sleeve, and a faint trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

The crowd was choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer. For them, the little prince being injured in front of them was far more serious than killing a Qingcheng faction leader. But Zhao Qingyan obviously didn't realize this. Zhuo Yi, who had been standing by and silent, asked what everyone thought: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at his master and asked, "Do you think he can hurt me?"

Zhuo Yi said: "That's not accurate. I've never had much confidence in your martial arts, and it seems pretty good now. ”

Zhao Qingyan said lightly: "Thanks to Master's false praise, he is too weak, delirious and full of flaws, and it is not difficult to unload his strength." I don't think I can beat him under normal circumstances. ”

Zhuo Yi looked at him for a while and asked, "Were you really angry just now?"

Zhao Qingyan slowly bent down to pick up the crutches that fell on the ground, folded it up and inserted it back under the seat, and after hearing the master's question, he replied after a while: "A little bit." The tiredness on his face could not be concealed, and his cheeks, which were already bloodless, were even more white and terrifying.

Zhuo Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Ran Tongxuan is really your reverse scale, I haven't seen you angry for a long time." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Reverse scales, Master won't really believe my words, right?"

Before Zhuo Yi could react, Trojan Marhou had already frowned slightly, and his tone was a little blamed: "Even if you want to provoke him, don't use yourself as bait." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled apologetically, but still defended himself: "Isn't there a master and a marquis? I won't be in danger." ”

Trojan Marquis smiled helplessly, but added: "You should be careful yourself." "I won't blame it much.

Xiao Tao next to him heard a little meaning from their conversation, and asked cautiously, "My lord, did we do something wrong?"

"No, how could it be?" Zhao Qingyan replied with a smile absentmindedly, looked at Hua Boping, and ordered, "Go to Yizhuang to make a good coffin and pack him, tidy up his clothes, and transport them to Qingcheng." If Qingcheng asked, he would say that it was Ouchi's mistake. Counting it with Song Yunping, Qingcheng will give as much compensation as he wants. If they are not satisfied, let them come to me directly, and I will deal with it. ”

Xiao Tao hesitated: "My lord, now even their head is broken, I'm afraid it's not easy to calm things down, really give as much as you want?"

Zhao Qingyan said with a headache: "You look at it, as long as it's not too much, just give it." It's my own, I don't need to tell Uncle Thirteen, I'll do this in private. I'll take the silver ticket and give you a part of it later, and if it's insufficient, you take it from the Ouchi account and put it on first, and I'll make up for it later. ”

Xiao Tao and the guards beside him glanced at each other and said, "We killed the person by mistake, and the body was also forcibly transported back from Qingcheng, so there is no reason for the adults to pay for the crime." ”

Zhao Qingyan pinched his eyebrows, and his face couldn't hide the tiredness: "Okay, let's go." There have been a lot of things recently, and I'm afraid that this matter will cause another wave of turmoil, and Ouchi is estimated to be a lot more nervous. Anyway, I have a lot of money left in hand, even if it is mine, don't bother. ”

Xiao Tao had no choice but to respond and retreated.

Zhao Qingyan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if he remembered something: "Go and see if there are any wounds other than knife wounds on his body, and see if he is poisoned while the blood is not coagulated." Uncle Xiao, give them your two sabers too, this is a bit strange. ”

Xiao Tao and the others did not ask about the removal of their sabers, and immediately did so. He asked, "My lord, is it enough to just check the blood?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Well, so be it." Check carefully, especially in your hair, and don't shave your hair. The clothes are the same, the corpse is not hard, take off the clothes, and put them back on as they are after the inspection, otherwise there will be more trouble. Let's get things done today, Uncle Xiao will order the coffin first, the weather is hot, hurry up and finish it. ”

The crowd responded, and the servants immediately came and carried the body into the mortuary.

After they finished tossing and quieted down, Zhao Qingyan sank and looked at Zhuo Yi and the others: "Master, Hou Ye, Ran Palace Master, I'm afraid this matter can't be explained for a while, why don't you go to the grass garden and talk slowly?" He was very favored by the emperor, and he had a residence in the palace, called "Grass Garden", and lived there when he went to Da Nei to do errands or stayed in the palace on weekdays.

Mul Ma Hou said: "You are also tired, or will he talk about it again in the future?" The current Palace Master of Light Wind Palace, Ran Xingchen, seemed to be anxious to ask something, but when he heard Trojan Marquis say this, he swallowed the words that were almost out of his mouth.

Zhuo Yi saw that Ran Xingchen's expression was urgent, so he said, "Mo'er, let's talk about it here, don't pay so much attention to it." ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded silently: "Then I'll talk about it." Half of these were found by me, Qingfeng, and Jiang Wuyan, and half of them were the results of rumors in the rivers and lakes and Ouchi's investigation. You should also know about the West Lake Bloody Case ten years ago, with 168 people, involving hundreds of large and small sects. The way these people die is that their bodies are ulcering and turning into blood, which is the poisonous manifestation of 'crying blood into tears'. And I, Qingfeng, and Jiang Wuyan were the only three people who survived that catastrophe. There is no other reason, it is because we all have another poison in our bodies - Zhu Yangai. Its presence makes a lot of poisons useless. ”

Ran Xingchen was a little surprised: "Zhu Yan changed?"

Zhao Qingyan explained: "This is a kind of Western Regions Gu poison, which was introduced to the Central Plains by the Han people and given such a name. There is no solution to this poison, and it can only be barely relieved by some methods, but it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, which can only make the situation worse. After being hit by this Gu poison, the internal cultivation will rise rapidly, but it will regularly flow uncontrollably in the body, and various diseases will appear along with the backlash. For example, my current physical condition is half of the reason for 'Zhu Yan Change'. It's just that this poison varies from person to person, and the reaction will be different depending on the degree. ”

Ran Xingchen asked, "Is there really no solution?"

Zhao Qing said: "To a certain extent, there is no solution. ”

Ran Xingchen frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Qingyan tilted his head and said, "Let's put it this way, I was poisoned at the age of seven or eight, and I only started to cultivate internal force at the age of twelve, and it has been eating away at my body when I have no internal force. As far as I know, in addition to me, the dozens of people who have been poisoned by 'Zhu Yan Gai' are all martial arts people, which means that they all have internal strength. Gu poison is eroding the internal force while also strengthening the internal force, and the internal force generated is turbid and poisonous. When the internal force of the source is completely polluted, and when it cannot find a clean internal force, it will erode the body and then the consciousness. The appearance of these poisons can be said to be accidental and inevitable. ”

He glanced at Zhuo Yi and saw that the master nodded before continuing: "Twenty years ago, a disciple of the outer sect of the Tang Sect named Tang Xiaoyu was accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect because of his excellent talent, and his attainments directly followed the leaders of the inner fort of the Tang Sect. Later, because of some disputes in the rivers and lakes, he stole the secret books of the Tang Sect and was expelled from the division, and at the same time offended to the puppet palace, and went to Miaojiang in order to avoid being chased and killed. There is also a theory that he was hunted down because he spied some unknown things in the puppet palace. The Tang Sect did not want to make a feud with the puppet palace because of this, so Tang Xiaoyu was expelled from the division. If you want to find a poison that can be compared with the Tang Sect and the Puppet Palace, the first choice must be Miao Jiang. He went to Miaojiang at the age of sixteen and returned to the Central Plains eight years later. That is, twelve years ago, he brought back Zhu Yangai. ”

Zhao Qingyan thought for a while and added a few more words of explanation: "Zhu Yankai has two characteristics, his skill has skyrocketed and he is not invaded by a hundred poisons. After being hit by Zhu Yanchang, many kinds of poisons will be directly swallowed by it after entering the body, and then transformed into internal force. Some dead soldiers in Miao Jiang will even increase their strength by constantly swallowing poison. It is conceivable that many people will covet this and delusionally want to ascend to the sky in one step. The puppet palace got the news and released it in the rivers and lakes, wanting to use the power of others to strengthen the odds of victory. Because most of the people who know the news cherish themselves, it is impossible for the puppet palace to hype it up, and there are only more than 100 people who know about it. And half of these more than 100 people are from the puppet palace. ...... day"
