Chapter 227: Hidden Dangers

It wasn't until the east was slightly white that Zhou Fugui slowly returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info walked around the perimeter of the salt pane, which was quite difficult for a man of his size.

Chen Ao kept seeing him return, and his heart finally relaxed. He greeted him with a smile, held Zhou Fugui's hands, and said, "Boss Zhou has worked hard!"

Zhou Fugui waved his hand, so tired that he couldn't speak. After resting for a while, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Chen Gongzi is really like a god, and none of those guards suspect me!"

Chen Ao said with a smile: "It's all Boss Zhou's good disguise in the past! You are a genius who works underground!"

Looking at Qian Laosan and Peng Shugen's puzzled expressions, Chen Ao explained: "The reason why I want to go to Boss Zhou for help is because Boss Zhou usually gives people the impression that he is a drunkard. Therefore, he appeared drunkenly in front of many guards so as not to arouse suspicion. If we do this, I'm afraid we'll be arrested all at once!"

Peng Shugen said: "I see, no wonder you must ask Boss Zhou for help!"

Zhou Fugui smiled: "Thank you Chen Gongzi for trusting me...... However, I only cared about poisoning the wine, and as for whether they were poisonous, I didn't have the time to look closely. ā€

"It doesn't matter. Chen Ao waved his hand, very relieved. He knew that most of the rat drugs of this era were arsenic, that is, arsenic trioxide, which was highly toxic. Even if the purification process is not enough and the purity is insufficient, but if such a large dose is put in, even if it is an elephant, I am afraid it will be poisoned.

In fact, according to Chen Ao's original idea, he only needed to stun those guards of the Earth Evil Gate. However, it is really difficult to get the sweat medicine, and the risk is too great, so I can only retreat to the next best thing and use this cruel method. It's just that this time he hurt too many lives, and Chen Ao was uneasy, so he could only pray secretly and recite Amitabha Buddha twice......

Zhou Fugui said: "That wine is watching them drink it, there will be no mistake!"

Peng Shugen said cautiously: "To be on the safe side, let's go and have a look!"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "That's right, I also have to carry the body back and bury it properly." ā€

Although they hadn't slept all night, they were very excited. After a few days of two or three days of planning, they finally snatched the salt field from the hands of a gang of martial arts disciples in one fell swoop.

Qian Laosan went to call for people and scattered to various outposts to carry the corpses. Chen Ao, Zhou Fugui and Peng Shugen walked along the ridge, discussing the next step as they walked.

Chen Ao silently calculated in his heart, more than 20 days have passed since he was knocked unconscious by Jiao Fuji and thrown into the salt field. In a few days, it's the Salt Gang Conference. When the time comes, the four factions compete for the helmsman. Once a new helmsman is elected and the situation is settled, I am afraid that the group of coolies I bring with me will face a catastrophe.

The best way is to take advantage of the fact that the hell door has not yet been noticed, and slip away. With these liberated comrades, he hid far away. However, it certainly saves lives. But the results that everyone has achieved in the past few days, and the salt field that they have won can only be abandoned. Moreover, the Earth Hellgate can be re-entrusted, and some poor people can be recruited to continue to open the rich and noble salt farms.

Besides, there are more than a dozen large and small salt farms in the vicinity, and although these people with me can escape, there are still so many comrades living in dire straits. How could Chen Ao, a revolutionary full of class feelings, leave these people behind?

Whether to go or stay, Chen Ao is at war with heaven and man in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, a man suddenly ran in the distance. He was out of breath and ran to the three of them, but he didn't have time to catch his breath and said urgently: "It's not good...... Oh no...... Go out...... Something went wrong......"

Chen Ao knew that he was taken by Qian Laosan to collect the corpse, and when he heard this person say that something had happened, he couldn't help but feel his heart jump. He thought to himself, could it be that someone didn't die and ran to report the news?

He took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man said, "Less...... One less person......"

The most feared thing really happened, and Chen Ao's face changed. From here to Haixian, if you hurry up, you can get there overnight. Besides, he didn't know if there were any disciples of the Earth Demon Sect on this road. If that's the case, I'm afraid that the people of the Earth Devil Gate have already received the news by this time and are sending people here. Can these 200 coolies who don't know martial arts be able to compete with a group of gang disciples with martial arts?

Zhou Fugui was also anxious: "Impossible! I obviously saw that they all drank!"

Chen Ao warned himself in his heart that he must be calm at this time. The first time I became a leader, if I panicked first, my subordinates would be out of control. At that time, even if the people from the Earth Evil Gate did not come, these would already be in chaos first.

He said, "Let's go, let's see!"

Chen Ao and the three followed the man to the fence, only to see a corpse lying at the door of the watchtower, and a puddle of vomit next to it, which had dried up. Other than that, in front of nothing else.

Everyone knew that each checkpoint had at least two guards. But there was only one body here, apparently one person missing.

Zhou Fugui stepped forward to turn over the corpse and looked at it, and exclaimed: "It's Fang Lei!

Chen Ao frowned and said, "Do you recognize them?"

Zhou Fugui nodded and said, "Last night, this surnamed Fang was still playing tricks on Lao Tzu, so he was particularly impressed. I clearly remember that Jiang Chong also drank wine, how could he be gone......? Could it be that he was young and strong, and he failed to poison him?"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "There is also this possibility...... The poison is not pure, if this person does not drink much, and induces vomiting in time, maybe he can really avoid death......"

When he said this, he had already prepared for the worst. The safest thing to do now is to tell everyone the news, but each of them runs for their lives. Before the people who were in charge of the door arrived, they could run as far as they could. When the catastrophe comes, there is no way to fly separately.

Of course, the people from Dishamen must have come from Haixian, so this road cannot be walked. I can only find a place to avoid the limelight first, and then find an opportunity to return to Haixian to find a companion.

Before I could make up my mind, I saw a person running over in a hurry and said breathlessly, "Oh no...... Earthshatter Gate...... The people of the Earth Devil Gate are coming!"

Chen Ao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"I'm waiting at the door!"

Chen Ao's heart jumped, and he said secretly, it's so fast! What should I do? If the large army of the Earth Demon Gate is killed, how can it be an opponent with these hundred and ten coolies?

He asked, "How many people are here?"

"A dozen or so. ā€

Chen Ao thought for a while and felt a little strange. There were only a dozen people here, and this Xiongguang was too big, right? Besides, if the people from the Hellster Gate knew that something had happened to the salt farm, would they still be waiting at the gate? What's going on?

He calmed down and said to Peng Shugen and Zhou Fugui, who were already a little panicked: "Don't panic, it's useless to panic now." Uncle Peng, you go and gather people and rush to the door. But without my command, you must not act rashly. Boss Zhou, let's go see what's going on?"

Chen Ao's composure made Peng Shugen and Zhou Fugui quickly settle down. Peng Shugen quickly followed Chen Ao's arrangement and quickly gathered dozens of coolies.

Chen Ao took people and walked towards the door. The gate of the salt pan is just a wooden gate, and you can see the outside from a distance.

Chen Ao glanced at it, and saw several people riding mules on the open space outside the door, a little impatient. When he got closer, he couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that among the few disciples of the Earth Demon Sect outside the door, it was not someone else who took the lead, it was Jiao Bu'er who sent him here!
