Chapter Seventy-Four: Caught in Trouble (I)
With the curtain call of the ceremony, Huang Sanshu took Wen Junyan and some of his entourage and left in a luxurious carriage, followed by many officers and soldiers, escorting the remaining glazed spring water back to the imperial city. The soldiers originally stationed in Lingze Cave still stuck to their posts to prevent others from entering Lingze Cave, and paid silently.
Lin Xingyu asked everyone to rest in the town for a few days under the pretext that the realm of himself and Gu Zhenhong had just improved and was still unstable, and Wu Yixiu had just drunk the glazed spring and his injuries had not yet recovered, and he was agreed.
On the day when a few people returned to the town, a lot of people who came here to compete in martial arts left, the originally crowded town was much colder, and most of the rooms were empty, and Gu Zhenhong, who used to be crammed into the same room with Lin Xingyu and Wu Yixiu, went out to live alone.
Lin Xingyu and Wu Yixiu were left in the room, and they also happened to provide Lin Xingyu with the conditions to tell him what he thought last night.
"Chen Chunzhu is here to compete, will Chen Tiancheng also come? And at that time, were the so-called seven families all present?" Lin Xingyu said cautiously.
"Well, it should be, some juniors in these families are here, although most of them have returned, but there are also some people who are better, and it is impossible for them to come here alone. Wu Yixiu lay on the bed, his voice steady and serious.
"I happened to see Ye Zhengkai defeated that day, will Ye Shunan also accompany him?"
"Well, although I didn't notice where Ye Shunan was, I thought he should be there. ”
"Then let's not leave for a while, let's stay for a while, the situation is very unfavorable for us, in the small town around Lingze Cave, they will not attack us, but if we leave the town and there is no deterrence from the imperial court, it will not be slaughtered." ”
"Yes, in the face of absolute strength, any stratagem seems vulnerable. But even so, be prepared, these days I walk around the town to see if there are any suspicious people, buy something by the way, and prepare everything you need, just in case. ”
Lin Xingyu and several people lived in the town in order to avoid Chen Tiancheng, Ye Shunan and others, Lin Xingyu has been practicing Xuanqi, and when he has time, he has practiced the second form of "Qianyuan Sword", and "Shenwu Balu" has been stuck in the fifth form, which is difficult to progress, and the cold feeling brought by Liuliquan will occasionally appear, but it is not uncomfortable, it seems that it has not been completely digested.
Gu Zhenhong has been leisurely these days, he has nothing to do, and he drank half a cup of glazed spring, and the realm climbed to the second grade of the little grandmaster, running around every day, either practicing guns, or feeling the strength of the little grandmaster's realm.
Qin Shuyu either stayed in the house and didn't go out, or she couldn't find anyone, and Lin Xingyu occasionally went to find her.
Jiang Jianxue had no one to play with her, she was really bored, and the only person she could find during the day was Lin Xingyu, who was holding back in the house to practice Xuanqi, so she often went over to make trouble during the day when Lin Xingyu was practicing.
Half a month passed quietly, calculating the time, no matter how patient you are, you won't run into the wild and squat for more than ten days, right? Especially in the last few days, Lin Xingyu and the five of them stayed in the room without taking a single step, creating a false appearance that people have left.
Life in the town is dull, soon after dark, there is no one on the road, and every family goes to bed early, Lin Xingyu and the five of them quietly left the town in the dead of night and the moonlight is hazy.
For the sake of safety, a few people walked on a remote path that they had inquired about a few days ago, and by the faint moonlight, they confirmed that there was no one around, and then they moved forward cautiously and tried to avoid making a sound.
The atmosphere was tense along the way, and even Jiang Jianxue, who was lively and active in the past, tried his best to control the pace of his feet to avoid stepping on stones or foreign objects to make a sound.
As they walked farther and farther, they didn't encounter the ambush people, and the nervous mood of several people relaxed a lot, and their footwork was much faster.
The sky was bright, and there was no obvious obstruction around the path, and even Lin Xingyu, who had always paid the most attention to the surrounding situation, relaxed.
"What does that Jiang Jianyu who is as powerful as me have anything to do with you?" Lin Xingyu ran to ask Jiang Jianxue when he had nothing to do.
"Phew!!shameless!I won't tell you, who told you not to play with me a few days ago!" Jiang Jianxue held her head high and ignored Lin Xingyu.
"If you don't tell, don't tell, don't say anything if you have the ability, suffocate you. ”
"Don't say it, I'm going to kill you. ”
The two were arguing, Wu Yixiu stopped, his face was solemn, and everyone stopped together.
"Someone is coming. Wu Yixiu said in a deep voice.
"Then let's scatter and escape?" Lin Xingyu said tentatively.
"I can't run, there are a lot of people around. Ate this. Wu Yixiu said as he took out a bottle from his arms, poured out three pills, and distributed them to Qin Shuyu, Gu Zhenhong, and Jiang Jianxue.
"Master, what about mine?" Lin Xingyu hurriedly asked seeing that he didn't have his own.
"You don't need to. ”
The powerful aura coercion came from all directions, getting closer and closer, Lin Xingyu and several people gathered in a circle, back to back, protecting each other, Lin Xingyu saw that everyone else had weapons, so he didn't have them, so he had to take the soul in his hand and put on a posture.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, a vague figure slowly appeared in the field of vision, walking towards them without hurrying.
The figures appeared in everyone's field of vision one after another, and slowly saw the whole picture clearly, Ye Shunan, Chen Tiancheng, Ruan Yinghui, Zhao Feilong, and some people who Lin Xingyu had never seen but had a strong breath, and then the figures became more and more dense, Ye Zhengkai, Zhen Ping, Chen Jingtong, Chen Chunzhu, and some young people with familiar faces who had seen but could not be named in the martial arts ceremony, and there were nearly 100 people.
Ye Shunan and another person from the Great Grandmaster Realm blocked the two directions, one south and one north, six middle-aged men from the Little Grandmaster Realm whose names Lin Xingyu couldn't name blocked the east-west direction, and the others were interspersed in the middle, and several people were surrounded by the inner and outer three layers, obviously planning for a long time in order to form this tacit understanding.
"It's been so hard to wait for you. Ye Shunan shook his head and said to Wu Yixiu.
Wu Yixiu didn't speak, and directly spit out a flying needle and shot at Ye Shunan, and at the same time threw a powder bag into the air.
The flying needle shot at Ye Shunan's cheek, and Ye Shunan easily grabbed it with two fingers and threw it into the air with his hand.
"Bang!" The powder bag was punctured by flying needles, and dots of medicinal powder floated down.
The medicinal powder floated lightly in the air, surrounding Lin Xingyu and the others.
"Insect carving skills. Ye Shunan said contemptuously, wrapping his palm with rich purple Xuan Qi in his hand, and waved his palm.
A strong wind came in his face, Wu Yixiu blocked most of it, even so, Jiang Jianxue was blown to sway, his feet were unstable, and he was caught by Lin Xingyu before he barely stood still.
The strong wind blew, and the medicinal powder floating in the air was still visible, not much less.
"Interesting, Wu Yixiu, you are more powerful than I thought, no wonder my father admires you so much, but it's useless, you can't run away today. Ye Shunan said.
"What nonsense to talk to him, what can I do with just a few poisonous powders!Wu Yixiu, give back my son's life!" Chen Tiancheng's cloudy eyes widened, his whole body was flushed with purple Xuanqi, his right hand stretched forward, and rushed straight over, stopping in an instant, his right hand and half an arm reached into the poisonous powder, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately pulled back.
After a few steps back to its original position, the dotted black corrosive scars on the arm were seeping downward, with a tendency to expand.
Chen Tiancheng directly pulled out the long sword of the person next to him, aimed at the eroded flesh and blood of his right arm and slashed it. The sword light flew fast, and in the blink of an eye, half of Chen Tiancheng's right arm was blurred with flesh and blood, and all the skin had been cut off, along with large chunks of eroded muscles, and in some places the white bones had been exposed. Clenched his fists, saw that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and didn't care if it was painful, he threw the long sword aside.
"Grandpa, are you alright? I'll just say that they are not good people, and they are particularly insidious and vicious. Chen Chunzhu ran up from behind and took the medicine powder to give Chen Tiancheng medicine.
Seeing Chen Tiancheng's tragic situation, most people took a few steps back, no one wanted to follow in Chen Tiancheng's footsteps, not to mention whether they would be poisoned and die, even if they didn't die, I was afraid that they didn't have the courage to cut off their own flesh by themselves, and they didn't blink.
"How many more of these poisonous powders do you have?" Ye Shunan asked with a glint in his eyes.
"A lot. Wu Yixiu said lightly.
"Okay, I'll just wait here to see how many you have, and we can stop by and talk. ”
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about it. Pick the chat you like. ”
"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Wu Yixiu looked up at the rising sun and said softly.
"Yes, I've been waiting for a long time, I found you from the first day of the martial arts ceremony, I accompanied them to wait for you here for a month, it's really boring, I'm about to walk all over this hundred miles. Ye Shunan said flatly.
"How did you find ours?"
"Me and him, one staring at one exit, in fact, I always thought that I should be able to kill you in an instant, but I still held back, and waited until the encirclement was formed, and I didn't appear. Actually, I almost fell for you, you haven't been in the town for the last few days, I even thought that when I was negligent and let you run away under your nose, if it weren't for Old Chen's grandson, I might have really missed you. Ye Shunan pointed to the great grandmaster opposite and said.
"He?" Wu Yixiu asked, pointing at Chen Chunzhu.
"Yes. Ye Shunan nodded, "It was he who told me that he inquired about your address a few days before he came here, and bought the shopkeeper, and he will come every few days to inform you of your whereabouts, and in the last few days, you gave enough money for the house, and did not let anyone enter the house, and you should not knock on the door, even the shopkeeper thought you were gone." ”
"How can you be sure we're not leaving?"
The two seemed to be talking like friends, and they looked peaceful, but everyone knew that when the poisonous powder was gone, it would be a different scene.
"Three of the five of you have gotten Liuliquan, it's really a blessing, but I think that your little apprentice got a cup by himself, and there was a problem with the state at that time, and his body was covered with frost, which looks quite strange, you often go in and out of the small town pharmacy in the past half a month, and your little apprentice has not been out of the house, so it is rare to be able to save his life." ”
Wu Yixiu didn't answer, nodded slightly as if he acquiesced, and then continued: "I have a mortal enmity with Chen Junxiong that cannot be reconciled, but there shouldn't be such a big hatred between us, right?"
