Chapter 1210: Poisonous Corpse
Time passed little by little, the good news ahead, the officers and soldiers defending the city obviously did not expect a bluff night attack, they would encounter a three-way ambush, and they were defeated after a little resistance, and in the chaos, they brought the cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan into the city.
There was no joy on Xiao Yan's face, Shi Qingjue's death made the atmosphere in the tent depressing, but none of the dragon king and the lotus girl appeared, and the female corpse at the door now seemed redundant and was carried out by the guards.
Xiao Yan recalls the good old days of his youth, where there was no place for the old Khan, and even Dotun was just a cute boy with a vague image, and everyone was her foil: she was energetic, she liked to ride horses, and she could hear laughter throughout the camp......
A smile reappeared on his face, and he glanced at the faces of the three guests, and asked, "Does the killer prefer to do it in the early hours of the morning?" ”
Shangguan Cheng gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulged, he hated Shi Qingjue's deception, but when the monk died, his heart felt empty, and he was full of hatred for Xiao Yan.
Fang Wen was as silent as an old monk who had entered the meditation, as if he had admitted defeat and given up convincing Xiao Yan.
Only Shangguan Fei felt the need to curry favor with Xiao Yan, and it was an imminent necessity, "Not every killer has this habit, but the Dragon King is indeed like this, he also likes to take risks, he has been like this since he was a child, unruly and unexpected, so maybe he will change his habits this time, well, on the other hand, he may also be suspicious, just wait for Xiao Yan to relax his vigilance......"
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand to stop Shangguan Fei's nonsense, "Well, you are really suitable to be the 'sect leader'." ”
"In the future, I will rely on the support of the Xiao Yan clan. Shangguan Fei said flatteringly, but he secretly complained in his heart, thinking that he would be able to stand alone by mixing with the sect leader. I didn't expect to be someone else's puppet, Xiao Yan's heart is ruthless, and he is no better than the dragon king and the lotus girl.
Another soldier came in to report the battle ahead, "The defenders of Kinmen Pass have surrendered, and the commander asks if he wants to take the enemy general to the barracks." ”
"No, let him handle the surrender himself. I'm going to go into town after dawn. Xiao Yan's voice was majestic, which was completely different from her usual attitude of smiling and treating people, and in front of the soldiers of her clan, she showed a different face.
Shangguan Fei looked at her, and he was actually a little moved, but he thought that Nangong was bad, and felt that she was more majestic.
As soon as the soldiers withdrew, there was a quarrel outside, and the slave girl who was guarding the door leaned in. "It's from the Central Plains, and there is an outsider. ”
Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he could let them in, and at the same time gave a hint to the slave girl, and after a while, four guards came in first, guarding various places, and then invited the guests in.
Shangguan Fei saw it in his eyes. I was full of admiration, and I thought that once I was in power. It is also necessary to train such a group of subordinates, and they can support them with their eyes, which is really trouble-free.
Miao Sanwen strode in, this time he didn't use others to lift the curtain, behind him, there was a middle-aged man with a sword.
"Xiao Yanshi. Let me introduce you, this is a famous hero in the Central Plains, Songshan sent Ji Fuyao. ”
Xiao Yan put on a smiling face, "I have heard the name of Ji Daxia for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today." "That's what I said. She didn't mean to get up to greet her.
Ji Fuyao didn't care either, and hurriedly bowed his hand, "The purpose of my coming to see Xiao Yan's clan is very simple, to exchange a message for something. ”
This is a very rude behavior, Shangguan Fei and the other three are not too surprised, they still remember that Shi Qingjue said that there were several people who followed the Dragon King, and Ji Fuyao was one of them.
Xiao Yan still smiled, "What about the head of the Ji family, why didn't he come?"
Ji Fu lowered his head, and Miao Sanwen said with a little indignation: "The unfortunate murder of the head of Ji was the hand of the Zihe real person of the Kongtong faction. ”
Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly, sighed, and showed a little surprise, but there was not much sympathy, "Well, this is the rivers and lakes." ”
She didn't ask Ji Fuyao about her exchange intentions, and she didn't seem to care at all.
Shangguan Cheng suddenly interjected and asked, "Where is the Dragon King?"
Shangguan Fei's eyes were bright, Fang Wen couldn't help coughing in a low voice, and signaled Shangguan Cheng not to talk nonsense, in case Ji Fuyao shouldered the task, it was likely to be ruined by this question.
Ji Fuyao nodded at Shangguan Cheng, not trying to hide his acquaintance with the Dragon King, "Gu Shenwei is very safe, don't worry, he will protect your safety." ”
Only the words "Gu Shenwei" could touch Xiao Yan's family, and she laughed, "I'll kill this child now, can the Dragon King protect him?"
Ji Fuyao said solemnly: "I'm not here to fight the battle of words, I bring a suggestion that is related to the safety of the Xiao Yan clan." ”
Xiao Yan stopped laughing, "Let's hear it, what tricks does the Dragon King have?"
Ji Fuyao paused for a moment, "Xiao Yan's clan is in extreme danger right now, I can save you from danger with a word, but you have to hand over the imperial seal." ”
Xiao Yan made a serious thought and leaned forward, "Let me ask you one thing first, the Dragon King asked you to ask for the imperial seal? ”
"Gu Shenwei asked me to remind Xiao Yan that it was my own idea to exchange the imperial seal. Ji Fuyao said that in fact, this was a joint decision between him and Miao Sanwen and others.
Xiao Yan nodded heavily and turned to Fang Wensi, "The Dragon King really doesn't take the imperial seal seriously." ”
Fang Wen didn't speak for a while, and replied solemnly: "Gu Shenwei values this imperial seal very much, so he will give it to Xiao Yan's family." ”
"Haha, did you hear that, Ji Fuyao, the Dragon King wants to keep the imperial seal with me, how dare you go against his will?"
Ji Fuyao's voice was slightly raised, "I'm not Gu Shenwei's subordinate, and his intentions have nothing to do with me." ”
Xiao Yan hummed casually, still not showing interest.
"Did the Xiao Yan clan agree to the exchange?" asked Ji Fuyao.
"Actually, I think I'm quite safe, how do I know that what you call 'danger' is really danger?"
"It's very simple, the news I revealed will get Xiao Yan out of this tent. ”
Xiao Yan finally showed a hint of curiosity, "It's a little interesting, okay, you can let me out of the tent before dawn, and I'll hand over the imperial seal to you." ”
"A word is a certainty?" Miao San asked and hurriedly said.
"I'm a liar, so I might as well arrest you and torture you. Xiao Yan said coldly, his eyes lowered. She has never taken the Central Plains martial arts people in her eyes.
Ji Fuyao didn't have so many doubts, raised his head, sniffed lightly twice, and said, "The lotus girl once sent a killer in the middle of the night?"
"Well, it's dead, and the body is not far from your feet. Xiao Yan pointed to a felt blanket in the doorway. There was also a faint sign of a depression there.
Ji Fuyao took two steps to the side and said quickly: "The killer's name is Han Hua, he is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, his body is poisonous, and it is distributed after death, at this moment, this tent is the most dangerous place in the barracks." ”
The expressions of everyone in the tent changed, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, especially Miao Sanwen. raised his hand to cover his nostrils, secretly complaining that Ji Fuyao refused to warn himself in advance.
Xiao Yan clapped her hands slightly, and her face quickly returned to normal, "Clever plan, only the Dragon King can think of it, he and the lotus girl are ready, just wait for me to get out of the tent, right?" hehe, but he should have sent you earlier." It's been a long time, voila. I'm fine, his son is fine, where's the poison?"
Ji Fuyao glanced at Shangguan Cheng again, "It's because of King Biyu, Gu Shenwei asked me to come, he said that Xiaoyuetang is good at using poison." The lotus girl transforms it to make it colorless and odorless, but the effect will be slower, and Xiao Yan's family doesn't know martial arts, so he may not feel it. Others will feel more obvious, and the true qi will become sluggish little by little, and when the limbs are weak, there is no way to save them. ”
Shangguan Fei, who was pale, immediately checked his luck, "Really, it's over, I'm poisoned......"
Xiao Yan didn't believe his words, turned his head to look at the slave girl beside him, the slave girl slowly took a breath, after a while, she nodded reluctantly, her true qi also changed, but she had been vigilant against the assassin, and she hadn't noticed it for a long time.
There was silence in the tent for a while, everyone wanted to run out of the tent, everyone was waiting for Xiao Yan to make a decision.
Xiao Yan's face gradually hardened, "I'm not leaving." Everyone, including a few of the guards, was disappointed, she said, "You can't go, especially you." She pointed at Shangguan Cheng, "I want to see how much the Dragon King cares about you." ”
Miao San didn't want to wait, so he arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then we will take our leave, or exchange the head of the lotus girl for the imperial seal......"
"No one can go, including you. Xiao Yan's voice softened slightly, but his expression was more resolute.
Ji Fuyao sighed, "Okay, I'll stay." Walked to the place where Shi Qingjue had sit, knelt on the felt carpet, and didn't speak again.
Miao San asked if he didn't want to stay and wait for death, and took a step back to the door, "Xiao Yan, don't make a mistake, we are friends, not opponents, I stay here, but I can't get the head of the lotus girl." ”
"The corpse has been here for half a night, I haven't died, what are you afraid of? Stay, as long as you are willing to help when you kill the Dragon King, the imperial seal will give it to you." ”
"The Dragon King won't come. Miao Sanwen was apprehensive in his heart, and regretted it more and more, he insisted on following him just now, but he didn't expect it to be a trap.
Xiao Yan didn't want to waste his words, and stared coldly at the head of the Taishan faction, as long as he dared to exit the tent, the guards would immediately take action.
Ji Fuyao persuaded: "Master Miao might as well stay, Gu Shenwei said that this poison is very slow to take effect in order to cover up the color and taste, and it will be fine for a while." ”
Miao Sanwen pondered for a while, but still felt unacceptable, and shook his head firmly, "This matter has nothing to do with me, forgive me for ......"
Halfway through the words, the two guards closest to him made a move, and Miao Sanwen was already on guard, and immediately drew his sword out of the sheath, intending to fight out.
He forgot that this was a tent, not a brick and wood room in the Central Plains, and he had retreated to the door of the tent, separated only by a layer of felt cloth from the outside.
Miao San asked and shouted, covered his waist with his left hand, and turned around to make a move to the slave girl who was sending a hidden weapon outside, and the two guards were not mediocre, they rushed to the front, and the head of the Taishan faction fell down.
"Don't let the Central Plains people bother me anymore. Xiao Yan waved his hand and ordered the guards to go out, this time there were no corpses, and she was not worried that her subordinates and dead people would reveal secrets.
Xiao Yan made a decision and no longer cared about it, and said with a smile, "Let's see if we are waiting for death, or the Dragon King." (To be continued......)
