Chapter 407: Give way
Someone sneaked up on his head, and the fat patriarch a few steps away wanted to escape, no matter how fast Gu Shenwei moved, he could only make a choice between defense and arrest.
He chose to arrest people and leave his safety to the Dutch girl.
The lotus girl had been standing at the door, a dozen steps away from the dragon king, and it seemed that she had never intended to participate in the battle, but when the dragon king's mind had just moved and she had not yet made a forward move, she had already guessed his choice, and even rushed over with a sword, just in time to meet the killer who fell from the sky.
There were a total of five Jinpeng killers, and the plan was originally that four people on the ground would entangle the dragon king, and one person on the top of the cave would wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, but the battle below ended too quickly, and the killers above couldn't find a suitable opportunity at all, so they had to take a risk.
The Lotus Maiden swept past the killer and landed beside the dragon king, and behind her, the killer fell to the ground with a heavy slam, blood pouring from the corners of his mouth and heart, still staining the clean floor.
Gu Shenwei lay on the ground and grabbed the fat patriarch's wrist tightly, this wrist looks short and small on the master's body, which is actually twice as thick as an ordinary person, and Gu Shenwei's palm can only hold more than half.
He can bear the weight of hundreds of catties, but it is not easy to pull it up, especially the fat patriarch is unwilling to be tied up and is struggling.
The movable door under the soft couch opened up and down, and at this time it was stuck in the fat patriarch's buttocks, and there was a clicking sound as he struggled.
The lotus girl couldn't find a place to put her hand, so she pointed her long sword at the fleshy wrist, "Do you want me to cut it off?"
The prey that was finally caught, naturally could not leave only one palm, the lotus girl was scaring him, the fat patriarch was a smart person, but he was half-suspended in the air, and his brain was not as good as usual, and he hurriedly shouted when he heard the words: "You can't cut it, you can't cut it, hold me, I'll come up." ā
The fat patriarch stopped struggling, and Gu Shenwei slowly lifted him up.
The internal exercise is the true qi and internal breath, although it also has the effect of strengthening the body, but it is different from the brute force of lifting weights after all, the fat patriarch weighing hundreds of pounds returned to the ground, Gu Shenwei was also very tired, secretly adjusted the internal breath, and ordered: "Say it." ā
The soft couch had fallen into the ground, and the fat patriarch could only sit on the ground, his cunning gaze sweeping between the two, "What did you say?"
"You'll have to guess for yourself. ā
Gu Shenwei put the Wufeng knife against the fat patriarch's thick chest and stabbed it half an inch, which may cause a lot of damage to normal people, and for the fat patriarch, it was just a small pain like a pinprick, but he still couldn't stand it, and felt that his whole body became cold, "I said, I said." ā
The fat patriarch raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, "But you have to promise not to kill me." ā
"As long as there are no more Xiaoyue Hall traitors in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, I won't kill you. ā
"They forced me to eat a lot of messy pills, and the Dutch girl can solve it, right?"
"Yes. ā
"Well, you can't kill my children and grandchildren. ā
Gu Shenwei's Wufeng knife stabbed in another half an inch, in order to answer the other party's endless conditions.
The fat patriarch couldn't care about the safety of his children and grandchildren anymore, and hurriedly said: "These five people arrived this morning, and they have already heard that the dragon king is here, so they want to set a trap, I have no choice but to agree." ā
This was not something that Gu Shenwei particularly wanted to know, so the tip of the knife remained in the fat patriarch's body.
The fat patriarch felt a little dizzy, this was the first time he knew, it turned out that the sword pierced into the body, the most obvious feeling was not pain, but fear, irrepressible fear, as if there was an invisible self, usually hiding without a trace, but at the moment of life and death, he took away control of his body, asking him to save his life desperately.
"Xiaoyue Hall, the Dragon King wants to know about Xiaoyue Hall, there are thirteen people in total, only Yan'er has been living here, she is dead, there are twelve left, and the others have come over in the last month or two. It was a little over a month ago, and word broke that several tribes had discovered a fabled nation and were going to compete with the Dragon King for dominance. In fact, few people believed this, and at that time everyone thought that the Dragon King was dead, but Yan'er took it seriously, she said that there was a great rebellion from Xiaoyue Hall by the Dragon King's side...... The lotus girl is not so easy to die, so she gathered her sisters and wanted to go into the mountains to find out. Unexpectedly, before they could leave, the two of you arrived. ā
This information can be guessed by Gu Shenwei, "Where are they hiding now?"
"Jiuqu Cave, rarely come out. ā
"What about the merchants?"
"Yes, Guan Shang will sometimes come out and pretend to be a servant by my side to observe the reaction of the Dragon King. I forgot to mention that they put poison in the dragon king's food, saying that it would take three to five days to attack. Originally, Guan Shang said that the Dragon King had been tricked, but as soon as she found out that Mingzhen and Han Xuan were gone, she said that it was bad, and the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl must have been prepared and had to think of other ways. It just so happened that these five Jinpeng killers came, so ...... Actually, it's not my idea, I really can't help it, the lives of the whole family are in their hands......"
Gu Shenwei didn't want to hear him complain, so the hand holding the knife was a little harder and interrupted him, "Take us to Jiuqu Cave." ā
"Yes, yes, hopefully...... No, no, the Dragon King will definitely be able to get rid of them in one fell swoop and save the men, women, and children of the Wind Swallowing Gorge from the clutches of the devil......"
The fat patriarch acted very well, and easily changed from a bold faction to a flattering faction, and found that the effect was not particularly good, so he became a pragmatic faction again, pointing to the activity door next to him, "Go from here, go directly to the inside of Jiuqu Cave, and catch them off guard." ā
"How many exits are there in Jiuqu Cave?"
"Three, one at the main entrance, one here, and one on the cliff, which is a secret exit that few people know. ā
"Let's go, come with me to get rid of the Xiaoyue Hall traitors, they are dead, and you and your son can live. ā
The fat patriarch used all his strength to owe his ass, exhaled, and said apologetically, "IāI can't go." ā
Since the fat patriarch returned to the ground, the lotus girl retreated to the door, monitored the situation outside, and suddenly said, "They have escaped." ā
As soon as the words fell, someone hurriedly ran into the cave, "Something's wrong, there's an accident......
This man was the butler of the fat patriarch, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw five corpses lying on the ground, and he jumped up in fright, and then saw that the master was sitting on the ground, and there seemed to be a knife stuck in his chest, and then he understood that the real "thing" was here, "Ahhh......h I...... Patriarch, several young masters suddenly fainted, as if ...... I'll come back later. ā
The butler turned around, and was startled by the lotus girl standing at the door, so he had to stand honestly.
The fat patriarch opened his mouth in shock, first looked at the dragon king, and then turned to the lotus girl, "How could it be ......?"
"They didn't faint, they were dead, and those traitors had mixed poison into everyone's food. ā
The fat patriarch was filled with grief and indignation, and then thought of a more serious question, "Then am I also poisoned?"
No one answered him.
The fat patriarch stretched out his hand to the dragon king, "Save me, I will give half of my property." ā
Gu Shenwei recovered the Wufeng Knife, turned around and asked the lotus girl, "Is it still too late?"
"The antidote is precious, should it really be wasted on him?"
The fat patriarch had long been carried away by fear, "Don't waste it, don't waste it, I have a big use, there are many traps set up in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, and there are countless treasures hidden, only I know all the details, give me the antidote, I will explain them all." ā
The scare was almost there, and Gu Shen asked the lotus girl to take care of the fat patriarch, and then ordered the housekeeper to call all the leading people in the clan, and he himself went to find Ha Chilie.
There were also four corpses lying in the room here, three of them had knife wounds, apparently killed by Ha Chilie, and one was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, which was the first person killed by Yahuan Han Xuan.
Han Xuan's face was pale, and he kept staring at the corpse, as if he was on guard against it jumping up again at any time.
As soon as the Dragon King entered the house, Han Xuan launched an attack, and followed the instructions and exerted all his strength.
Gu Shenwei dodged lightly and said to the three of them, "Follow me." ā
Han Xuan recognized the Dragon King and was hesitating whether to apologize, but the Dragon King had already left, and Ha Chilie and Miss Mingzhen hurriedly followed, leaving her at the end.
Xiaoyuetang's traitors were vicious, and in order not to arouse suspicion, they mixed a head powder into the food of many people, and the poisoned people amounted to twenty or thirty people, most of whom were the descendants of the fat patriarch, and several of them had already died.
The fat patriarch had a huge body and strong resistance, so he could not hold on, he took half a pill of antidote given by the lotus girl, and began to announce the order to his people.
In the past few days, there have been daily deaths in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, and they have become more and more intense, and everyone has been anxious and feel a deep panic, but nothing has surprised them more than the words of the fat patriarch.
"Mingzhen did not die, she followed my instructions and pretended to be dead to deceive the enemy, alas, but unfortunately although the enemy revealed his true colors, he still fled, and poisoned many people. ā
"I am too old to cope with these things, so I have decided to rest for a while, and in the meantime, my grandson-in-law, Hachilie, will take charge of all affairs and take charge of all affairs, and his marriage to Mingzhen will also be held as soon as possible. ā
Hachilie was as surprised as the others, and it wasn't until he received a hint from the dragon king's eyes that he stepped forward to accept the appointment.
With Ha Chilie alone, it would be difficult to suppress the Wind Swallowing Gorge, but fortunately, in a few days, the vanguard army of the Great Snow Mountain led by Long Chuanyun would arrive, and he would solve all obstacles.
Before everything was decided, Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl still had to set off immediately, not only to chase the fleeing Xiaoyuetang traitors, but also to Anguo, north of Wushan, which was the second obstacle for the Daxueshan army to return to the Western Regions.
The guards of the village saw more than a dozen women, divided into three groups and left the Swallowing Wind Gorge, and the direction of escape was also Anguo.
Gu Shenwei wanted to get the two best horses, and Ha Chilie was more familiar with Anguo, so he reminded the Dragon King that more than 100 miles away from the Swallowing Wind Gorge, it was a town in Anguo, and he could change horses at the post station there.
The Swallowing Wind Gorge was already in chaos, and Gu Shenwei left the mess to Ha Chilie, and set off with the lotus girl in the afternoon, without stopping for a moment, and entered the town that Ha Chilie said at about four o'clock in the night, and the mount was too tired to run.
It was the dead of night, the town was extremely quiet, the post station was located outside the town, it was easy to find, Gu Shenwei stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time, so he jumped on the courtyard wall with the lotus girl and peeked inside.
Although there were no signs in particular, the two men still sensed danger at the same time.
