Chapter XVIII

The narrow dim corridor looked a little depressing, the boy in Tsing Yi was dressed in green clothes, with a silver mask on his face, and his hard-soled boots stepped on the ground with a crisp sound, bringing a burst of small echoes in the silence.

Ignoring the more than a dozen doors along the road, the boy in Tsing Yi went directly to the end, unceremoniously pushed open the door, and strode in.

"Childe is finally here, and I've been waiting for a long time. There were three men in the room, two middle-aged and one young, and one of them spoke.

The corners of the boy's lips hooked coldly: "Am I late?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly: "No." ”

The young man laughed: "No compliment, okay?" raised his glass and saluted the boy in Tsing Yi: "Sit casually, there is wine, drink it at will." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi unceremoniously found a place to sit down, and put his left leg on his right leg: "I don't drink." ”

The young man asked, "What do you drink?" ”

The boy in Tsing Yi raised his chin at the other person: "Give me some taste of the blood that Tang Xiaoyu drank?"

The young man smiled: "It belongs to him, it is not within the scope of my entertainment, you can only take care of him yourself." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi snorted and pouted: "Don't cry, your attitude is not good." He leaned forward slightly, picked up the cup in front of him, and handed it to Tang Xiaoyu: "Come, share half a cup with me." ”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the porcelain cup in his hand, and looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Do you know what this is?" His face was covered with a black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his voice was hoarse.

The boy in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Human blood, cure Zhu Yan and change Gu poison." ”

Tang Xiaoyu laughed sullenly: "Zhu Yangai has no cure. With a grim smile in his eyes.

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled lightly: "Not necessarily, you can't solve it, it doesn't mean that no one can solve it." ”

Tang Xiaoyu sneered: "If you can solve it, you won't be sitting here." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi said: "I'm not sitting here to detoxify, at least I don't need to humbly beg others for a way out." ”

Tang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes: "Your words are very hard." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi raised his head slightly, and smiled lightly: "It's not hard, it's not hard." each other. ”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at him for a while, and handed him the cup in his hand: "This cup belongs to you." ”

"Thank you. The boy in Tsing Yi took it with a smile, took a sip and put it aside.

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "What's the matter?" Are you afraid of poisoning?"

The boy in Tsing Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "How come? Even if it is you, it is not easy to poison me. Besides, I have tasted it, and there is no poison. ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Then why don't you drink it?" This is blood, and it won't be stored for long before it stinks. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi rubbed his fingers against the outer wall of the porcelain cup, and lowered his eyes to look at the edge of the jade cup that was wet with blood and turned pink: "You seem to have forgotten that I am not the only one who has fallen into the Gu, and I want to keep the shadow for me." ”

Tang Xiaoyu sneered: "Yes, there is another him." Speaking of which, I really admired you, I thought you kept him around just to find a substitute for the dead ghost, or he could be used as a medicine jar. I didn't expect you to take him seriously and be able to revive him. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi pouted: "Don't say it so scary, am I the same as you?" Find a group of children to play Gu and raise them to drink blood." Gee. ”

Tang Xiaoyu said lightly: "In order to survive, who can be much stronger than whom?"

The boy in Tsing Yi had a shallow smile in his eyes, and his ink-colored eyes looked extraordinarily good-looking: "That's the case, but no one usually does such a thing as Ru Mao drinking blood." ”

Hearing him scolding himself around the corner, Tang Xiaoyu was not angry: "Maybe you will fall in love with this taste one day." ”

"Coincidentally, I'm actually one of the few. The boy in Tsing Yi seemed to hear Tang Xiaoyu's words, and seemed to just take care of himself and continued his words, "You should have hunted wild meat, right? But if you catch a home-bred rabbit in your yard and kill it, you still have to taste that taste...... It's boring. ”

He tilted his head and looked at Tang Xiaoyu for a while, and smiled slightly: "I won't fall in love with this taste." I still prefer killing to blood. ”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled, but did not refute again.

Mo cried and yawned, and asked, "I said two, it's enough to quarrel, and the blood has been drunk, right? ”

The boy in Tsing Yi lay back and squinted his eyes comfortably: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Mo cried and asked, "Don't you wonder why the puppet palace would do such a thing?"

The boy in Tsing Yi didn't bother to raise his eyes: "You guys are going to change masters again." ”

Mo cried and praised: "The son is really smart, in a word." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi sneered: "It doesn't look like it's going to change a good master, it's just a stupid guy who is greedy for merit and is in a hurry." ”

Mo cried and asked, "Oh, what do you mean by what Childe said?"

The boy in Tsing Yi played with the empty cup in his hand: "You have to be smart and do something like 'three fires for new officials'." To be precise, I think that the new master of your puppet palace wants to use the fear left by the West Lake Bloody Case to the rivers and lakes, to establish authority or disturb the rivers and lakes, and take advantage of the panic of the people to enter and seek benefits. ”

Mo Wai tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Is Childe interested in getting a piece of the pie?"

"A piece of the pie?" "The young man in Tsing Yi hooked his lips and smiled, his beautiful lips became more bright red because of tasting blood, "A cup of soup can't feed my appetite, you took so much effort to invite me over, won't it be just for such a trivial matter?"

Mo cried: "As long as the son can eat, I will be fed." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi squinted at him, with disdain in his eyes: "With you, you can't feed me." ”

The man next to Mo Cry suddenly got up: "You speak with respect." Reach out and grab the boy in Tsing Yi.

The hand of the young man in Tsing Yi touched his chin and shook it weakly, and an extra folding fan appeared out of thin air in his palm, and several jet-black thin needles as thin as cow hair popped out of the top of the folding fan, and the tip of the needle pointed flat at the man's throat. He moved extremely fast, in an instant, and even had a chuckle on his face.

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand to block the man: "Yu Shu, stop." ”

The thin black needle, which was only an inch away from Yushu's throat, paused slightly, retreated a few points, but was still held flat in the air. Tang Xiao knew that he was giving himself some face, so he nodded at him and thanked him.

Yu Shu looked at him angrily and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mo Wai sat up straight when Yu Shu got up, and only now did he slowly relax: "You are not his opponent. ”

Yu Shu was stunned and said: "What did the young master say? Just this little child?" As Mo Xiai's right-hand man, his martial arts are definitely enough to rank in the top 100 in the rivers and lakes. In the face of such a young opponent, but being given such an evaluation, how could Yu Shu be convinced?

Mo Wai's gaze still stopped at the folding fan, and he only looked away when he heard Yu Shu's words: "He may not be much worse than Tang Xiaoyu in terms of poison, and he may not be inferior to me in terms of organs." As for martial arts, I think it's far above you. ”

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and withdrew the folding fan: "The young palace master praises it, so I won't thank you." The jade-white fingers gently grasped the handle of the fan, and the slender fingers seemed to be weak, but those with high eyesight could fully see the power of those fingers.

Mo Wai smiled slightly: "The discipline is not strict, so that the son will laugh." ”

"Well said. The young man in Tsing Yi played with his fingers around the fan spike, not taking the small friction to heart, "When you talk about trading with the young palace master, you always have to show some capital." ”

The light cyan fan surface, the light cyan fan spike, and the ink marks can be faintly seen on it. Such a harmless fan made Tang Xiaoyu and Mo Cry smell the smell of death in the moment just now.

Mo cried and groaned: "This time Luo Changxiu wants to take the throne, and the time will be about a month later." You have a connection with the imperial court, right? I plan to give up the Ming Palace and leave only the Dark Palace. If Luo Changxiu wants to make a move, he must take his henchmen with him and go to the dark palace on the mountain, and only half of his subordinates will be left in the Ming Palace under the mountain. I need you to use the soldiers of the imperial court to fight the Ming Palace, and then lend me some of your secret people. ”

The young man in Tsing Yi chuckled and said, "Luo Changxiu is still not at ease in front of his Ming Palace Palace Master?"

Mo cried and said lightly: "Childe is too underestimated on people's ambitions. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi tilted his head, did not agree with his words, and instead asked, "How much to borrow?"

Mo cried and spread his hands: "Childe and I are also friends, and there is no need to say much about the benefits and disadvantages." In this way, there is no need to hide it, I say the reward, you look at it. First of all, the Ming Palace, except for the thirty books of organs, I want a hand-copy, and the rest will be handed over to you to deal with, whether it is a person or something inside, I don't want it. Aren't you interested in the twelve shadow guards? In the future, the puppet palace and you will be considered half-cooperative and semi-obedient, so it will come according to the kind you are used to. I am the master of the puppet palace, you don't have to help manage it, but if the puppet palace has problems and needs your help, you need to help. And I will obey your orders completely, you know. The same goes for those trap puppets, which you can use without leaking. Three keys, one each of the two palace masters, one of them is in Lu Xi's hand, right? Lu Wei still has it in his hand, I keep it in the dark palace, and the Ming Palace will guarantee you, how about it?"

The young man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Yo, you are so generous? This knife is equivalent to being cut off in half of your puppet palace, and you yourself are equivalent to becoming my subordinate." ”

Mo Wai smiled lightly: "Not generous." I understand you, even if I don't know you thoroughly, I can see everything I should see. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to touch this position at all, let alone how to keep it after grabbing it. The puppet palace has been ruined in the past few decades, and what this knife cuts is rotten meat and chicken ribs, so it's better not to do it. What I'm giving you is a virtual right, or rather, a right to use it for decades. Wait for decades to pass, and the puppet palace will still be mine. ”

"My purpose is to recapture the puppet palace that our Mo family has worked hard for, and keep it as long as possible. As for being your subordinate, it doesn't matter. I know what I'm capable of, so I have to rely on some reliable power. What is not suitable on the open side, but what is secretly is probably the most suitable for you. I only have a big profit on this deal, and I won't lose it. ”
