Chapter Twenty-Nine: Each has his own scheming
"Yunyang Xiao'er, I was obstructed by Feifeng last night and escaped by you, I think who can save you tonight?" With a cold drink, the groom in old clothes and with a humble image stood up lazily. But with this stop came a different, irrepressible arrogance, as if everything that was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.
With a "bang", the people gathered in front of the hall door were forced by the momentum of the evil anglers, and they all involuntarily took a step back.
Although the evil angler exudes not murderous aura, his laziness is like the disdain of a lion facing a group of lambs, giving people a terrifying feeling that is so deep that it cannot be defeated!
"Evil fisherman, others are afraid of you, but my Nine Sages in Sichuan don't take you seriously. Come on, come on, you have the ability to fight with the Venerable for three hundred rounds!" Venerable Shengchuan saw that all the momentum at the scene was taken by the evil fisherman, and he was not convinced, and when he was about to jump out, he was stopped by the Venerable of the Holy Land who had been silent beside him.
I don't know why, the more the Holy Mountain Venerable shouted, the more he was inferior to the evil fisherman in the eyes of the people, but it was the Holy Land Venerable's weak-like pull that actually gave people a calm and reliable feeling of being down-to-earth.
Sometimes the weak man is willing to return to his weak position, but because of his restraint, he becomes deep and unpredictable, and no one knows when and in what way the strength he has accumulated will send a deadly counterattack to his opponent.
The Holy Land Venerable ranked second among the nine ghosts in Sichuan, although his martial arts were not as good as the evil fishermen, but no one dared to underestimate his strength, with the Holy Mountain Venerable, Yunyang Zhenren, the Merry Second Envoy, the fourth floor of Fengyue Tower, and more than a dozen generals and headhunters who were guarding Yang Liyuan's body, plus the surrounding area was densely packed with thousands of officers and soldiers with bows or guns, government officials, and Fengyue Gate people, trapping the Lufu thieves in the hall of the courtyard like an iron bucket.
This powerful status quo suddenly counteracted the long-standing fear of evil anglers in people's hearts, and made them soberly realize that it was the seemingly peerless murderer in front of them who was really in a desperate situation!
The Evil Angler turned a blind eye to the threat in front of him, and ripped off the felt hat on his head to cover his face, revealing his signature green hair and blue beard. Ignoring the provocation of the Holy Mountain Venerable, he slowly walked up to Xiao Ting, who was caught between the two gangs of officers and soldiers and the Holy Sword Mountain Villa, and asked, "Are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Including Xiao Ting, everyone was stunned, and no one understood why the evil angler moved his heart to accept apprentices at this time?
"Be my apprentice, and I can keep you alive tonight!" said the Evil Angler, who was smiling, but his smile looked very evil.
Xiao Ting was trembling all over. The continuous torture had already severely damaged his tendons, bones, skin, and flesh, but the collapse of his faith in love had drained the remaining heat in his body more thoroughly than the cold wind of this autumn night. The reason why he can still stand here is because he has no hope of survival, even if this difficult standing will consume the last rays of his life.
But at this time, vitality suddenly appeared! With the skill of an evil fisherman, even in the midst of thousands of troops, it is not difficult to ensure the integrity of a person.
Xiao Ting's painful and numb gaze stared at the evil angler's face for a moment, and then, to everyone's surprise, he raised his leg and kicked it into the evil angler's crotch.
Xiao Ting is considered a top player among the younger generation, but in front of the underworld master like the Evil Angler, who is rumored to be a miracle, he is not worth mentioning at all. But the evil angler couldn't avoid Xiao Ting's full kick!
With a "buzz", the crowd stirred, looking at the two people in the field in disbelief because they were so unexpected that people felt extremely weird.
Yunyang Zhenren's eyes lit up, and he suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Evil angler, you have finally been fooled!" I know that your internal strength is deep and unmatched, but the poison of watching the fire from the other side is exclusively sealed with internal force, if you don't use force, you will naturally be fine, otherwise the meridians will go retrograde, go crazy, and you will burn your heart and die in a moment, which is very different from ordinary poisons. β
After Yunyang Zhenren finished saying this, the hall was suddenly in chaos. Although the people in the Holy Sword Mountain Villa did not expect that tonight would be a Hongmen banquet, they were thieves and would never relax their vigilance at all, and they had already tried the wine and food in various ways before eating and drinking, and they did not find anything suspicious at all! Where did the poison come from?
Lu Yushan was also shocked when he heard this, and in a secret hurry, it was dark in front of him, and his body, which was originally as calm as a mountain, shook slightly.
This inconspicuous change fell in the eyes of the surrounding officers and soldiers, and immediately caused another uproar, but this time it was excitement, and everyone knew that Yunyang Zhenren was not lying.
The overall situation has been decided, and even Yang Liyuan can't help but let out a long breath.
There was a thief in the hall who was in a hurry, and he was about to pounce out desperately, but as soon as he stood up, he had already fallen to the ground.
Even if something big happens around them, they can only take the attitude of watching the fire from the other side, and wait for the poisonous gas in the body to gradually dissipate with the breath.
But under heavy siege, who knows what will happen if you sit still?
It seems that the people in the Holy Sword Mountain Villa have only been captured!
At this time, the light in the hall dimmed, and Meng Haoshan gently raised his hand and snuffed out a subordinate candle on the candlestick behind him.
When the thieves saw this, they immediately understood that the poisonous gas came from these candles, so they followed suit and snuffed out all the candles in the hall.
The mountain rain was coming, and the night wind blew over everyone's heads and blew into the hall, bringing a glimmer of hope to these people.
The evil anglers outside the hall also moved at this time, and Xiao Ting's full force and kick couldn't cause him the slightest damage. In a moment, the eyes of everyone outside the hall were drawn to each other, and no one cared about the actions of the thieves in the hall.
Although the evil angler's movements were not fast, Xiao Ting was pinched open by him without resistance, and poured a small bottle of unsealed powder into his mouth.
The powder dissolved in the mouth and ran irresistibly down Xiao Ting's throat.
"This is zombie poison, Qu Tongya died of this poison back then. The evil angler let go of Xiao Ting's mouth, but his hand was not put down, preventing him from vomiting out the medicinal powder, and continued in Xiao Ting's violent cough: "Yunyangzi also used to poison me with this, and I was forced to flee into a poisonous miasma swamp that the world could not enter, and fight poison with poison, so that my hair changed color. Except for me and my apprentices, there is probably no third person in the world who knows the trick to removing zombie poison. β
"It's just a pity!" the evil angler sighed, "The apprentice I used to test the poison actually escaped with my stainless steel silk hook before I could kill him. So I had to ask you instead, first, to continue the drug test, and second, to have someone for me to torture and have fun when I was bored. β
The Evil Angler has no intention of concealing his true purpose in taking in disciples.
"What's moreβ" The evil angler looked at Xiao Ting with a malicious smile in his eyes, "With you, your elders and brothers who think they are chivalrous will take the initiative to send them to the door to find death, saving me from working hard to hunt them down." β
The Evil Angler is an understatement, but in his mind, the so-called apprentices are nothing more than tools to test poison or lure enemies into the bait. Not to mention the heavy psychological burden that will harm relatives and friends, the pain of drinking poison and rotting the stomach is no less than any torture in the world.
Living in extreme pain every day but begging for death, it is no wonder that the apprentice of the evil fisherman wants to defect.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at Xiao Ting with sympathy.
"Thief, let him go!" a broken cry suddenly came from behind the officers and soldiers.
A tall and mighty head catcher with a golden knife at his waist squeezed through the crowd to the center of the hospital.
"Hong Biao, come back!" Yang Liyuan let out a loud shout.
The person who came was Hong Biao, who returned late because he went out to search for thieves.
With the friendship between the Hong family and the Xiao family, Hong Biao would never sit idly by and watch Xiao Ting's death, so Yang Liyuan deliberately took Hong Biao far away, but he didn't know that Hong Biao still rushed back at this critical moment.
According to Yang Liyuan's instructions, Hong Biao could have gone home directly after entering the city and waited for the next day to enter the government to make a business, but when Hong Biao called to open the city gate and listened to the general of the city guarding the city talk about the fact that Lord Fu Yin was mobilizing a large number of troops to go to the government office, he knew that a major incident had occurred that he did not know about.
Hong Biao is a hot-blooded man, who is worried about the safety of Lord Yin and afraid that Xiao Ting will be worried about his life, so he rushed to the mansion overnight and saw the evil angler's fingers pinching Xiao Ting's cheek.
Hong Biao's martial arts are strong, and he is loyal, Yang Liyuan is also extremely dependent on him, although Yunyang Zhenren has poisoned the thieves, but who dares to guarantee that these bandits will not die desperately? The other party is trapped in the hall, just one order, ten thousand arrows can solve all problems, Yang Liyuan does not want his right-hand man to miss at this time, so he shouted.
Hong Biao glanced back at Yang Liyuan and said: "Lord Fu Yin, now you have understood what happened, Xiao Ting is not to blame for the death of the son, and I hope that the Lord will be merciful and spare his life!"
Yang Liyuan said angrily when he heard this: "Although the initiator is Lu Yushan, but Qingyun died under Xiao Ting's sword after all, how can I allow this person who killed my son to live in the world?"
As soon as Yang Liyuan finished speaking, the Yunyang Zhenren beside him immediately opened his mouth and echoed: "Yes, Hong Zhutou, Xiao Ting has now been fed the zombie poison that no one in the world can solve by the evil fishermen, if you save Xiao Ting, he will inevitably die!"
"What are you talking about?" Hong Biao sighed in his heart, although he risked being blamed by Lord Yin to inform Xiao Ting's accomplices to come to the rescue, but it was still a step too late to see the situation!
On the surface, Yunyang Zhenren said that even if Xiao Ting was saved, Xiao Ting would inevitably die, but in the ears of Hong Biao, who was in a hurry, it could be understood that since Xiao Ting would die, Lord Yin might not really blame him for saving him!
Hong Biao didn't hesitate any longer, and yelled, "Hand over the people!" The figure jumped into the air, and when he pulled out the golden knife with his right hand and slashed at the evil angler, his left hand reached out to Xiao Ting. As long as this knife can force the evil angler to dodge a little, he can use the opportunity to rescue the hostages in an instant.
Yunyang Zhenren wanted this effect, and Hong Biao didn't understand the meaning of his words at all.
Although Yunyang Zhenren is full of confidence in his poisonous methods, he does not dare to take the lead in the sharp edge of the evil fisherman, not to mention listening to the meaning of the evil fisherman's words, he fights poison with poison, and has become a veritable poisonous person, and the poison of watching the fire from the other side may not be able to work on him. Therefore, Yunyang Zhencai deliberately wanted to use Hong Biao's hand to test the reality of the evil fisherman.
