Chapter 5: Scheming
"Hand over what you've got in your hands. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yingchen's eyes flashed, and he spoke lightly.
"What's that?"
"Don't play dumb on me, hurry up. β
"You mean this?" Tang Mingzhe's right hand weighed a large purple-red apple, which was so bright and dazzling that people wanted to swallow it in one bite.
"Nonsense. Teng Xuan frowned, not liking the other party's knowingly questioning.
"As far as an apple is concerned, you can pick it yourself if you pick it from the tree. Tang Mingzhe pursed his lips, and after his eyes rolled around, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Ying Chen looked at his eyes and snorted coldly: "I've been in the forbidden place for seven years, how come I don't know that there are apple trees here?"
"The forbidden land is so big, it's normal for you not to know," Tang Mingzhe muttered, his eyes a little evasive, and he left in a hurry.
"You go one step further, and the next time you are hunted down, don't beg me to save you. β
Tang Mingzhe's body slammed and immediately stopped.
He turned his head, turned around, and said unconvinced at Yingchen: "You... You...... This time they're here to hunt you down, not me. β
"It didn't affect you this time because I deliberately lured the snake out of the hole. β
"Then it's none of my business. "Lie Mingzhe and pat his buttocks, and he is about to leave.
"Then the next time to protect you, or I'm afraid I'll forget. Ying Chen smiled playfully.
"Will forget?... Don't bring such a ......."
"Stop the ink, bring it. Yingchen's tone became sharp, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
"I got this apple with great difficulty, do you know how dangerous it is, I tell you, I am from ......"
"Nonsense," Ying Chen frowned, interrupted the other party's tirade, and stepped in an arrow step, snatching the big apple from the other party's hand as fast as lightning.
"You ......"
"You're so talented, it's not trivial to get another one, isn't it? Ying Chen patted Tang Mingzhe's shoulder, with an appreciative smile, and after speaking, he walked away.
"I ......" Tang Mingzhe froze in place, wanting to speak and stopping, with an angry face.
It's just that when he saw Teng want dissipate from his field of vision, his angry face was swept away, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a satisfied smile.
He turned, walked to the left, reached into his coat pocket with his right hand, and pulled out a large fuchsia apple, exactly the same as before.
"Fortunately, I kept a hand, otherwise I would have lost a lot. Before Tang Mingzhe finished talking to himself, he heard a familiar voice in his ears, and immediately secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late.
"I knew that you would keep a hand, this little trick, you can't get tired of playing it?" Ying Chen didn't know when he appeared next to Tang Mingzhe, with a hint of mockery, and said lightly.
"You ......"
"What are you, hand it over. Ying Chen rolled his eyelids, spread his palms, looked at Tang Mingzhe, who was taller than himself, and sneered.
Tang Mingzhe knew that he couldn't refuse, after all, he would only deceive people, and there was indeed an agreement in advance. But in any case, it was very painful.
You must know that the apple in his hand is not an ordinary apple, but a poisonous apple from this forbidden place, which is very rare.
He showed his reluctance, grinding and chirping for a long time before putting it in Yingchen's hand. Then he sighed and continued to walk forward dejectedly.
"Stop. β
"What else are you going to do, I really don't have it," Tang Mingzhe stopped again, shook his shoulders, and muttered.
Ying Chen didn't speak, he stepped forward and searched him directly, and after a while, he found a few green and purple leaves, from the leaves of this apple.
He put them away one by one, and then said: "Most of the poison of poisonous apples is on the leaves, I am right." β
"Hey... Belch... I thought you didn't know, can I go now? Tang Mingzhe's embarrassed face squeezed out some smiles, and he smiled very reluctantly.
Ying Chen is also laughing, but it is a mocking laugh, the other party always likes to be clever and play this kind of boring little trick.
After laughing, he patted his sleeve and walked down the mountain.
After a while, Tang Mingzhe left, with some annoyed expressions on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with Yingchen's actions.
These two poisonous apples were obtained by him with great difficulty, and it was too unwilling to give them to others like this.
Yingchen is right, most of the toxins of poisonous apples are in the leaves, that is to say, those leaves are more precious than the fruit itself!
After another half an hour, his mood regained his calm, and after he looked around for a while, he quickened his pace and left the first mountain as he hastened. As if far enough away, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then a green and purple leaf spat out of his mouth.
"Fortunately, fortunately, he hid a piece in his mouth, his little bastard, he knew how to blackmail Lao Tzu. Tang Mingzhe looked left and right, for fear that Yingchen would appear again.
He wanted to put it on his body, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he squatted down and dug a pit in the ground, preparing to bury the leaves here for the time being.
"Bury what? Sneaky. Ying Chen's voice was like a ghost, and it appeared in Tang Mingzhe's ears again, so frightened that he suddenly hit a spirit and fell to the ground.
"You... Don't deceive people too much......" As soon as he said his words, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately closed his mouth, trying to hide something with his hands. Only then did I realize that I was surprised just now, and the hand holding the leaf let go.
At this moment, the leaf, which was still a little saliva, was quietly falling into the dirt pit.
"Yo, there was also a piece left, not in vain for my appearance. Ying Chen obviously saw it too, and picked it up by himself, it seemed to be stuck with residual saliva, and he couldn't help frowning and shaking it a few times.
"You little bastard, you're going to kill me. Tang Mingzhe jumped up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and pointed his nose at Ying Chen.
Angry and ruined.
"I have to say that your little tricks have grown, but that's all there is to it, it's still very naΓ―ve. Ying Chen said, and after shaking the leaves dry, he turned and left.
He doesn't have much affection for Tang Mingzhe, a clever liar who plays tricks all day long, but he doesn't have much rejection.
He didn't stay this time, and he wasn't in the mood to go back, after all, the looting was almost over, after all, the relationship between them was cooperative.
At the same time.
Tang Mingzhe kept scolding and scolding, stomping his feet angrily, and his face was flushed.
"Little bastard, every time you have to loot it all, and let no one live. He chattered, and I don't know how long it was, and he left the first mountain while scolding.
He stood at the foot of the inconspicuous mountain, looking at the night that had faded a little, at the night sky without a single star. Lifting his foot, he stretched out his right hand and groped for the sole of his rhinoceros leather shoe, and it took a long time to pinch out a slender purple-gray root.
The corners of his mouth did not show a smile again, but there was a satisfied light in his eyes.
This is the root of the poisoned apple, which does not grow on trees like ordinary apples, but grows on the ground like watermelons.
Poison apples are rare fruits, and not many people know about them, and even if they are young, they only know that most of the toxins are on the leaves. But in fact, the most poisonous place is in the roots!
Compared to the root of this poisonous apple, the poisonous apple and the toxins on the leaves are not worth mentioning!
Moreover, in the Forbidden Land, there are basically few people who know this secret. Most of them were deceived by the fruit itself, and even if they found that the leaves were more poisonous, they would never have imagined that the real poison was in the roots.
"Win the dust, a little trick in your eyes, just like a grain of dust between the heaven and the earth, a drop of rain, ordinary can no longer be ordinary.
But a small amount adds up, even if it is the most easily ignored thing, no matter how small it is, it can be hidden from the world!" Tang Mingzhe muttered, raising his chin slightly, although he did not smile, but from the corner of his eye, there was still a touch of pride.
The root of this poisonous apple was what he was bound to get, but when he came back, he happened to encounter a big battle between Yingchen and the two monks.
But none of this is important, because such a chase or assassination is all killed by Yingchen one by one in the end.
The important thing is that, no matter what, Ying Chen will use this to loot him, even if there is no reason to make it up, like this one.
Therefore, the root of this poisonous apple cannot be taken away by the other party under any circumstances.
Although he can choose not to show up for the time being, it is not a long-term solution, if he keeps hiding, how can he get the protection of the other party.
Therefore, he deliberately held the poisonous apple in his hand before, and deliberately let Ying Chen see it, so that he could not become too passive.
Everything in the back, he is acting, he is not too exaggerated, nor too bland. His performance is a little better than before, which is also expected by Yingchen.
In this way, it will not arouse too much suspicion from the other party.
Tang Mingzhe continued to take steps while thinking, and his figure disappeared away, gradually disappearing into the mountains.
