Chapter 669: Poisoning
Vajrador was not actually a monk, and although he had a bald head, he was dressed in a dirty open leather jacket with a shabby black sheath and a single knife, which undoubtedly indicated that he was a wandering swordsman who occasionally turned banditry.
Shangguan Fei found that it was not only himself who was unfamiliar with this Vajra Toutuo.
This competition came suddenly, but the handwriting was very bold, not only with 100,000 taels of bonuses, but also with the random use of wine and meat to make everyone's eyes shine, but seeing this face full of wind and frost Vajra Toutuo, many people couldn't help but darken their eyes.
"Today's contest ......" Vajra Toutuo didn't say a word before he was interrupted by a voice, "One hundred thousand taels of silver, take it out and take a look." ”
"One hundred thousand taels! one hundred thousand taels!" It seemed that the abundant supply of wine and meat was a mistake, and the half-drunk heroes of the rivers and lakes unceremoniously started to coax, not caring about the feelings of their masters at all.
Vajra Toutuo is not tall, as strong as a calf, and the most prominent thing is the hands, which are almost as big as ordinary people's heads, stretched out, and are extremely intimidating, "Everyone listen to me!"
"Listen to him, listen to him. After a moment of scrubbing, the crowd fell silent.
"Someone knows me. The crowd cheered, "There are also many people who are new friends, let me introduce, my name is Vajra Toutuo, known as Vajra Toutuo, my roots are in Hexi, and I don't often come to Longting." In the future, no matter who goes to Hexi, just look for me, don't dare to boast about other places, that place, Lao Tzu said, ask for money, wine and women, it's enough!"
The applause is everywhere, and the wine and food are full, and such bold words are needed to help the fun.
"Some people will say, look at your appearance, it's no different from calling Huazi, is it enough? and pay back 100,000 taels of silver? It's not bragging, right?"
More than a dozen swordsmen pressed the handle of their swords and looked around violently, as if anyone who dared to mention the matter of silver would attack it in groups.
Shangguan Fei pouted secretly, it turned out to be a competition of a group of reckless men in the rivers and lakes, which was far worse than the Dragon Court Conference, let yourself go up, and you could win the first place with three punches and two kicks.
But the Dragon King attached great importance to this competition, and there were more unexpected characters who were also interested in it, Shangguan Fei couldn't help but glance at the guard again, not knowing who he had pledged his allegiance to after the death of the old Khan King.
The guard nodded slightly, indicating that he also recognized Guan Fei, and hoped that he would not talk too much.
Shangguan Fei showed a tacit serious expression, he liked the smell of conspiracy.
Vajratou's rhetoric and the demonstrations of the swordsmen still failed to stop everyone's suspicion of 100,000 taels, and there were really bold people who openly questioned, "I'm not here to drink wine and eat meat, what about 100,000 taels? ”
More than a dozen swordsmen quickly found the speaker, and were about to rush over to teach him a lesson, when Vajrador waved his big hand to stop the scratching, and then took a deep breath and said something that surprised everyone, "I really don't have 100,000 taels, at least not now." ”
The gratitude to the hospitable host turned into anger in a blink of an eye, and the scolding was everywhere, and it was impossible to suppress it by a dozen people alone, and finally a very high-pitched voice shouted: "Shut up, shut up all, listen to the bald man's explanation, I don't believe he is entertaining everyone." ”
Vajrador bowed his hand and thanked him in the direction of speaking, "This old man is right, but if you dare to call me 'bald' again, I will slap you to death." Ahem, I don't have 100,000 taels, but it's not a pastime for everyone, it's wine and meat, is Lao Tzu in a hurry? I have a treasure, which is worth a lot of money, and whoever has the highest martial arts will share it with whom. ”
Everyone looked at each other, "What treasure?"
Vajradhara looked left and right until the crowd was completely silent, and then he said, "A human head." ”
This answer obviously came as a surprise to most people, and many people even asked each other, "What did he say? What kind of treasure is that?"
Ruan Donglai, who was in charge of recording people's names, walked out of the crowd, still with cardboard in one hand and a thick pen in the other, bowed down and said, "Brother Bald, you are just joking, who can I sell a human head?"
Vajrada doesn't like the name of "bald man", but he doesn't care about "bald brother", "the biggest financier in the world." ”
This sentence caused a bunch of speculation, and some people even mentioned the Meng clan in Biyucheng.
An extremely gentle voice came into everyone's ears, everyone heard it, but no one felt loud, "The head of the old Khan King, only the little emperor of the Central Plains is willing to buy it, isn't he the biggest financier in the world?"
In fact, someone has already guessed this, but they just don't dare to say it.
The crowd was quiet again, and there was fear and hope in the atmosphere.
Vajra Toutuo got a hint from Ruan Donglai and said loudly: "This Han Wu Fairy Woman is right, the head of the old Khan King is in my hands, and I dare not swallow it alone, and I want to find a hero to share." ”
"You're afraid that you won't be able to take it out of the prairie. Han Wuxian said as he combed his hair.
In order to make her face the vajra head, Nie Zeng had to turn his back to the crowd, he felt very strange, usually no one talked to this banshee, how did she know this information? And her words just now were clear and not crazy at all.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, what Han Nuxia said is not bad, I have a baby in my hand, but it is separated from the Central Plains by thousands of mountains and rivers, and I may encounter many obstacles along the way, so I thought about it and decided to find a real hero as a helper, bring the head back to the Central Plains, the reward will be equally divided, the credit will be equally divided, do you think it is worth 100,000 taels?"
Not to mention 100,000 taels, everyone's minds are popping up numbers, and some people can't tell the size of the amount, so they can only use "value, too worth" to describe it.
"It's too tiring to trek through mountains and rivers. Han Wuxian was one of the very few people who was indifferent, so far, she hadn't even looked up at Vajra Toutuo, she just concentrated on combing her long hair, "It's better to sell the head to the princes of the North Court on the spot, and you will definitely get a lot of silver." ”
This sentence provoked public outrage.
"We are all from the Central Plains, how can we take refuge in the prince of Beiting?"
"Who is this woman?
Many people pulled out their swords, but Han Wuxian was calm, and Shangguan Fei hurriedly stood up, "She is from the Western Regions, and she has nothing to do with Beiting." Then he thought to himself, his duty of protection was fulfilled, and the Dragon King should have no excuse to punish him afterwards.
"People from the Western Regions, no wonder. The people put away their swords, and they could accept the people of the Western Regions.
"It turns out that the people of the Central Plains are so loyal to the emperor, those guys who kowtowed in front of the Ten Kings of the Northern Court a few days ago, I don't know if they are fake Central Plains people?" Han Wuxian still refused to flinch, Nie Zeng was almost about to admire her, and within a few days of arriving in the Dragon Court, he actually knew everything.
Ruan Donglai squeezed through the crowd, stood opposite Han Wuxian, and said on behalf of everyone: "The people of the Central Plains are loyal and annihilated, and the exterminators have all been driven away by the old Khan King, and we are all loyal to the emperor." ”
"Well, you wrote down everyone's names, do you want to ask the emperor for credit?"
Ruan Donglai looked embarrassed, "It's not impossible." ”
"That means it's possible to hand it over to the people of Beiting?"
Most of the people who participated in this competition were reckless swordsmen, and some people reported fake names like Shangguan Fei, but most of them said their real names and surnames, and then reacted and surrounded Ruan Donglai in a blink of an eye.
"Hand over the list. ”
"Destroy, destroy now. ”
Han Wuxian was complacent and said softly, "This is loyalty. The voice was not loud, and Nie Zeng had a feeling that these words were completely said to himself.
Ruan Donglai was embarrassed, so he had to take out a roll of paper and tear it up in public, "There is no other meaning, it is convenient to record during the competition, if you don't want to, just tear it up." ”
Vajra Toutuo's big hand clapped, and he pulled his attention back to his side, "One more word, why can't the head be sold to the prince of Beiting, first, they will kill the person who handed over the head and bury the old Khan king, second, there are so many princes in Beiting, they are beating you to death, who knows which one will be in power in the future? If you choose the wrong trading partner, you ......will die."
"Fuck it, someone's dead!"
Shangguan Fei was startled, because the person who spoke was standing beside him, and the dead man was not far from him.
The deceased was a small man who had just collapsed a short time ago.
Vajra Toutuo's face changed, he strode over and looked at the corpse, "Damn, don't worry, it's probably because you drank too much and died violently, not an assassination." ”
Vajra Toutuo returned to the vicinity of the bonfire, the two swordsmen lifted the corpse one after the other, walked out of the crowd and did not take a few steps, suddenly fell at the same time, many people looked back at the corpse, all saw this scene, waited for a while, saw that the two swordsmen did not move, only someone shouted: "Poisonous, the corpse is poisonous." ”
The crowd immediately dispersed.
In the face of the most obvious assassination, everyone is looking for the killer quickly.
"Vajratou, you poisoned the wine and meat!"
The crowd immediately divided into two groups, one group was Vajra Toutuo and more than 20 swordsmen near the bonfire, and the other group was more than 200 heroes of the rivers and lakes who surrounded them.
Ruan Donglai stood between the two groups of people and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, the person who poisoned it can't be Vajradha, he is drinking wine and eating meat with everyone, and the person who carries the body is his subordinate." ”
The latter reason is more worthy of trust than the previous one, and the game of finding the murderer continues, and Vajrador is quite calm, "Don't move, everyone, the person who poisoned us is among us, don't let him escape while he is in chaos." ”
After a moment of silence, a swordsman suddenly pointed at Shangguan Fei, "It's them, the fifth brother walked around them just now......
The knife man suddenly grabbed his neck with both hands, kept retching, as if something was stuck in his throat, his face became redder and redder, and without waiting for the people around him to react, he fell to the ground with a thud, convulsed a few times, and never moved again.
Shangguan Fei didn't expect the trouble to get on so quickly, and hurriedly said: "Everyone has seen it, this has nothing to do with us, there are several people separated by it." ”
The four of them died one after another, each more strange than the other, and the atmosphere of fear spread rapidly, and everyone drew their weapons and waited for battle, but they did not know who the enemy was.
Vajra Toutuo came over again, bent down to check on the fourth deceased, and the people next to him reminded him in unison that it was "poisonous", but he didn't care, pulled the deceased's hands away, looked at it on his neck for a while, stood up suddenly, and turned to Han Wuxian, "Who are you?"
"Woman. ”
"You...... Which sect?"
"Xiaoyue Hall. ”
Xiaoyuetang's reputation is not obvious, and the people of the Central Plains have never heard of it, Vajra Toutuo frowned, thinking that this may be a sect made up by the other party, "You killed the person?"
"yes. ”
The murderer admitted so frankly that everyone was shocked, and some acquaintances of the deceased jumped out and asked: "Does he have a grudge against you?" ”
Han Wuxian smiled beautifully, "Isn't it a martial arts competition? I've already defeated four people to see who's next." ”
Shangguan Fei's legs softened, and his heart trembled, feeling that he might not be able to escape tonight, and then understood one more thing, in the Dragon Military Camp, Han Wuxian showed mercy to his subordinates, otherwise, just those few blood marks on his face would be enough to kill him on the spot.
