Chapter Eighty-Four: A Sudden Helping Hand
The two of them were so shocked at the same time that as soon as they turned their heads, they saw Steward Wang's playful and cruel expression, and they both shivered slowly.
Zhu Mei stepped forward to protect Nian Nian behind her, and looked at Steward Wang vigilantly, her eyes gradually turning cold.
With a wave of Steward Wang, seven or eight people hidden in the grass appeared together and surrounded them.
"Little girl, hand over the Mu Lingzhi behind you, I can let you go. Steward Wang raised his eyebrows and spoke.
"You're a bad guy, he's my friend, I won't give him to you!" shouted at him.
"Hmph, stubborn, come here!" Steward Wang made a move, and wanted to let his subordinates do it. At this time, the old man stood up and said happily to Steward Wang: "Steward Wang, why do you make such a big fire, I will persuade these two girls." โ
"Okay, okay, hurry up, I don't have that much time to waste. โ
"Yes, yes. The old man turned to the two of them and smiled lovingly: "Child, you see, you brought us here from this place, and we didn't force you before, but after you came, you suddenly repented and didn't want us to take this wood lingzhi away. He stroked his gray beard and said, "Think about it, this wood lingzhi is so magical, if you give it to me, then I can use it to save more people, you are a kind person at first glance, of course you don't want someone to die because you don't have this medicine, don't you say?"
Nian Nian looked at the old man's laughing appearance and blinked blankly. Before, she thought that the old man smiled kindly, but now this smile made her shudder. Nian Nian weakly shook his head: "He already has spiritual sense, and in another two hundred years, he can even transform into a human form, I have made an appointment with him to go to the imperial capital to play together in two hundred years, and I can't break the appointment, so I can't hand him over to you." โ
"So, are you toasting and not eating and drinking?" The old man's wrinkled face with a smile slowly flattened at this moment, and then sank, and his cloudy eyes were full of gloom.
"I don't know how to drink, why should I eat alcohol?" asked Nian Nian puzzled.
The little guys around couldn't help but snort when they heard this, but after seeing Steward Wang's eyes, they couldn't help but laugh behind them.
The corners of Steward Wang's mouth suddenly set off a strange arc, he took the dagger held by a small guy next to him, and threw it up and down at will, his casual eyes slashed towards the two of them.
"You have to think about it, I don't have much patience, you'd better listen to me and tell me the wood lingzhi along with the secret method he has kept, otherwiseโ" He stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei's faces swelled with incredible shock and fear.
The sound of the dagger piercing through the flesh was slightly dull, and the next second blood was splashing, and the air was filled with a faint fishy smell. Nian Nian only felt that the red light flashed in front of him, and there was more liquid at his feet. Her eyes widened in horror, and in her stunned face, the old man in front of her shook his body, a string of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then he fell to the front and fell to the open space between Steward Wang and Zhu Mei, a pair of cloudy old eyes were still wide open at the moment, as if he couldn't believe this fact.
Nian Nian and Zhu Mei couldn't believe it, but Steward Wang took the cotton cloth handed by a servant next to him with a leisurely face and wiped the blood stains on the dagger, so that the two of them had to face this fact - just now, Steward Wang stabbed the old doctor of the medicine shop to death with the dagger in his hand! His cuffs were still stained with the blood of the old doctor.
Steward Wang looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently, and said contemptuously: "Thanks to him, I can see such a magical thing, but this kind of fool doesn't use his mind to think about it, since this spiritual object is extremely valuable, why should I share this amazing value with him?"
Nian Nian shook his head incredulously, Steward Wang at this moment had completely exposed his greedy, cruel, and hypocritical nature. When the old man wanted to deceive Nian Nian and Zhu Mei and use the most gentle means to deceive Mu Lingzhi, this person couldn't wait, he didn't even bother to have a little disguise, he didn't even bother to find a little excuse for greed, and even killed his companion with his own hands for this priceless elixir!
Zhu Mei was also shocked in her heart, but she had witnessed the most painful scene in the world and experienced the hellish murder scene herself, so although she was shocked, she didn't feel too much.
And every year is different, although she has also been to the illusion of the pearl charm, but since she has spiritual sense, the people around her are gentle, she believes that people's hearts are kind and reliable, what she didn't expect is that the people who traveled with her can finally draw a knife to meet, and the last moment they were talking and laughing, and the two people who seemed to have a good relationship became a murderer and a corpse in the next moment.
Nian Nian's eyes slowly looked at the little people around them, but found that they did not have any superfluous expressions, and their indifferent expressions seemed as if the killing just now did not exist, and even the corpses that were still alive on the ground did not exist.
Steward Wang admired the shocked expressions of the two and smiled with satisfaction: "How is it?
Pearl's face was gloomy, and the air around her body became much colder. Just as she was about to make a move, a crisp female voice came from not far away.
"It's really not ashamed for a group of big men to chase two girls, is the national style of the night so unbearable?"
With that slightly squeamish, crisp sound, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps followed. The crowd was a little alarmed and followed the prestige.
The first thing that catches your eye is a tall horse, and a woman in red sits on the horseback. The woman's face was clearly contoured, her eyebrows were faintly heroic, her lips were lightly opened, and her crisp voice entered everyone's ears with a playful voice. A long black hair hangs high behind his head, and a red dress tightly wraps his body, revealing only a snow-white neck. She was holding a long whip of the same color as her skirt, and she was now looking down with her arms folded and smiling.
Steward Wang's eyes flashed with panic at first, and after seeing the woman on the horse, he suddenly showed surprise and killing intent, but after seeing the seven or eight people following the other party, he quietly hid the killing intent.
"What are you! Get out of here if there's nothing to do. A small guy on the side shouted.
"Presumptuous! Humble things, dare to insult my young lady, come on!" Lao Hao heard this, and his eyebrows immediately rose.
"Shut up for me!" Steward Wang hugged his fists and said, "This girl, we are dealing with private matters, and I hope the girl will not interfere!"
"Oh, I'm very interested in what kind of private matter can make so many of you besiege and kill two girls, and they all say that it is fate to meet, and you do your private affairs, and I will watch from the sidelines. The woman smiled and spoke.
A touch of viciousness flashed in Steward Wang's eyes, and he secretly gritted his teeth, if they didn't leave, he couldn't forcibly kill these two girls, after all, Mu Lingzhi's matter couldn't be leaked, this thing was too attractive to people, and it wouldn't be good for him to publicize it. But the manpower on his side is similar to that of the other party, and in the case of not knowing the details of the other party, it seems that hard work is not the best strategy.
A smile appeared on Steward Wang's face: "Hehe, you don't know this girl, I have a baby at home, but I was abducted by these two demon girls, and I brought someone to chase it, that's all." โ
"You are talking nonsense!" Listening to his nonsense every year, he was really angry, "You are a bad person, in order to get a genius treasure, you do not hesitate to kill your companions, you are a madman!"
Steward Wang stepped forward, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This girl, the facts are as I said below. The so-called seeer has a share, if the girl does not dislike it, you can share half of this baby with you, as long as the girl does not interfere in the action below. โ
The woman on horseback tilted her head for a moment, then smiled, "In that case, I'd like to see what that treasure looks like in your mouth first." She twisted off her horse and jumped off.
